Madison was the next town over from me when I was a kid. I have a bunch of photos of both these rigs from when I was younger. Classics.

Did you ever have a chance to visit the old Madison FD firehouse that was in Hartley Dodge Memorial municipal buildilng? I did once, back in 1974 for the refreshments following oil pit fire training when the old Morris County Fire School travelled around prior to the academy being built. It had to be one of the most exquisite firehouses I was ever in, housing the combination career/volunteer department. The building was given to the borough by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge in the early 1930's as a memorial to her son who was killed in an auto accident. In November 1992, President George H.W. Bush kicked off the final day of his failed re-election campaign from that site.
