[quote name='radicalron' post='105528' date='May 7 2007, 15:04 ']Here is a picture of that MACK while it was owned by ROSLYN FC. It is staged in the parking lot of the firehouse. This truck was nicknamed (not so politely) by a neighboring fire company as "the trash truck". This was because our township and others, were using the MB chassis for trash haulers. The truck was also controversial because it had attack lines, but no supply line (which was later changed to 50-100' of 3" to be fed by the next in pumper). I and others can attest to it being set for a great and quick knockdown power. In retrospect, there were a few shortcomings that should have been changed.

the old trash truck, i remember it well. this was a beefed up version of what used to be abington 105 and mc kinley 206 it was designed to get out with 4-5 guys and be in front of the fire building with a 750 gal tank is was used to make quick knock downs. i remember a fatal house fire on hallman road at about 4 am and this rig worked great made a good agressive attack unfortunally there was a loss of life. at the time roslyn was running 3 pumpers so it worked but it was replaced in 1982 ish by a new cf 600 with all the bells and whistles.
