[quote name='FDSafetyMentor' post='92896' date='Mar 31 2007, 12:07 ']Hmm, The information that the owner provided us for our recent equipment roster (2006) indicates that this rig was from Orlean VFD in Virginia. Can you confirm we're talking about the Mack with Serial#: B85F-1396 so we can correct our records and update the owner who I guess has inaccurate information?
Thanks for the note and the details on the Dunbar unit!

1. When I photographed Orlean,VA. in 1995, everything there said "Ford" on the front end, and was mostly 2nd-hand stuff from other VA depts.
2. In the book, "Not for Glory" Elkridge VFD,MD. 50th anniversary, on pg. 24 are 2 pictures of the 1960 Mack as Elkridge E-11.
3. In MY book "Firefighting in AlleganyCounty,MD." (2005, Arcadia Publishing), on pg.118 is a picture of the 1960 Mack as Orleans, MD.,Allegany Co.E43-12. The picture was provided by Virginia McLaughlin,formerly of Baltimore,MD.
4. I have been to Orleans MD. VFC to photograph its successor - a 74 CF.,and am quite familiar with this VFC's history.
Until I can arrange to have Ms. McLaughlin's photo scanned for this site, that is the evidence I am presenting...
