Baltimore purchased 6 Seagraves in 1974 they went to Trucks 3,6,7,8,9, and 10. Trucks 7 and 9 would later be seen in the movies ladder 49. Truck 7 was the actual Truck 49 and Truck 10 would be Truck 16 in the movie

Lt,

This ALF looks to be in good shape for the asking price. How was it in person? When are you going to bring your freshly painted Seagrave into the city for us to see?

Found this behind the firehouse of the Bayville Fire Company in Ocean County, NJ. Didn't look in bad shape and with a pile of garbage I'm assuming the company was getting rid of it.

I don't have any information on this truck, except I believe it came from a West Virginia FD. It is now sitting at the Keplinger facility in Winchester, Virginia.

Drove past the Bedford Hills, NY location where Mutual Aid Americas ([url="http://www.mutual-aid.org/"]http://www.mutual-aid.org/[/url] )stores some apparatus. The Hahn from Glastonbury, [url="http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/index.php?showtopic=232&st=2700&p=386621&#entry386621"]http://www.firepics....21[/url] is gone, but the two Ford C (Saltsburg, PA and Lyme, NH) remain. A new addition was this GMC/Darley from Califon Fire Co., Hunterdon County, NJ

It is a 1970 Mack Army surplus assembled in house by the Buchannan Valley Fire Department of Adams County PA. When they went to place the unit in service, PA DMV would not register it or issue licence plates becuse the truck was too heavy and too wide to be street legal. It was advertised for sale in the June 1993 PA Fireman.

Growing up near Rogers Forge in Towson, I could easily hear the throaty roar of those 1974 Seagraves under the airhorns and Federal Q's when there was box near the northern city line. And I remember my first trip to Steadman House filled with Seagraves, the Mack-Swab Rescue 1, Water Tower 1, AirFlex 1, the reserve Mack floodlight and reserve Mack rescue and getting a tour of the high pressure pumping station there for the HP hydrants in downtown Baltimore.

Anytime Kurt, I was able to pry my all time city book from my son long enough to scan the pics. I have more, but they are through a fence shot at Dickman Street when they used to junk stuff in the back. I wasnt sure if those were for sure old 47 and 26. Again, your quite welcome glad you enjoyed.
