Somerville also bought 4 former FDNY rigs in the mid 80's. 2 Mack Engines, a Mack Tower, and a Seagrave Ladder. The Engines went to Engines 3 and 7, the Tower tower 1, and The Ladder was supposed to go to Ladder 2, but never quite worked right, and was eventually sold to West Bridgewater I believe.
Anyways, does anyone know what companies these ran as when they were in the FDNY, or have any pictures of them before they were sold?
Thanks
