Engine 11's 1966 Mack "B" was the last of the six that were purchased by the NFD: one in 1956; four in 1962, and one in 1966.
The '66 Mack bore NFD Register #2, and was placed in service with Engine 11 on July 14, 1966. It was equipped with a 1,000 GPM Waterous pump, a 300-gallon booster tank, and bore serial #1267.
On January 30, 1975, Register 2 was placed in reserve as a spare, and was scrapped circa 1978.
Engine 11's Mack "B" was considered the "Cadillac" of Newark's Mack B's, much to the credit of Firefighter Bill Knapp, who was a permament driver. He treated the rig as it was his own and took pains to make it the best lookin' rig in Newark's apparatus fleet, as can be seen in the photo below.[/color]
