Syracuse FD Rescue & More . . .

[Image7801]

And here's a parting shot I couldn't resist - a photograph of three Syracuse Rescue 1 vehicles all together. From left to right, the 2004 American LaFrance Eagle, the 2012 Sutphen/SVI, and the 1997 E-One. Perspective can be deceiving, as the ALF looks huge and it is actually the smallest of the three, while the E-One on the far right looks positively compact, and is in fact the largest of the three. The E-One was disposed of not too long after this shot was taken, but while I had them briefly all at the Division of Maintenance at the same time , I couldn't resist putting them all in the yard at the Fire Academy and taking some pictures. After all, it would never happen again!

Great stuff, Chief! I love hearing the chronology and seeing the photos in order... Ya know, a little history on Syracuse's other rescue rigs (the rescue aerial, etc...) would complement this thread nicely!
