Can you share the shots of Engine 7 before and after it tried to climb IN the Building? I think I have copies of what was on the Newark Fire History but dont have the story.[/quote]
[color="#0000FF"]Okay, let's start with a look at the history of the 1968 Mack "R" pumper that served with Newark Engine 7.
It had a 1000 GPM Waterous pump, a 300-gallon booster tank, bore serial #IO-1019, and cost $27,500. It was placed in service with Engine 2 on June 11, 1968. A photo of the rig as Engine 2 has appeared on Firepics recently.
On November 26, 1974, the rig was reassigned to Engine 1 as its pumper, and on May 15, 1975, it was reassigned to Engine 1 as its hose wagon (Engine 1 was a 2-piece company at the time).
