That must be a completely new cab built just for FDNY, or its built by Spartan for Ferrara. I can't seem to find another one like it on there website. Anyone got any info?

Yes, it's a new cab developed by FFA for this project.

Few pics of MP7201. This truck is now run by the Saint Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, MA. The Monks there got the truck donated from New York. I was told there are retired firefighters from all over the united states that reside at the Abbey. The truck began life in the city as a chauffeur training piece. It has seen fire in Spencer. Spencer is running the truck as a second out rig while there Maxim F model is having some rust fixed.

Look at the primitive window and strap assembly.

If you look inside above the driver's seat you can see the shop serial number sticker

LOL, My 1st company I was assigned to was a Mack pumper with the same window mechanism !! You'd finally break the strap and have to keep the window closed with a chock wedged in.

Look like a Maxim to me. Perhaps that is a picture of their other engine?

Simplicity is the Key!!! Keep it simple and you can fix it in the fire house. Make it technical and it goes to the shop for a long time. Who would have every guessed rigs would come with power windows.



Great photo, I love shots of interesting items, Thanks for posting.

Yes, It is Spencer Engine 3. It is a F model Maxim. It is at New England Fire Equipment in CT getting some rust repair done.

Coming over the GWB late Sunday morning, I saw the new "Three Forty Three" just south of the bridge. Jumped on the Henry Hudson southbound and got off the first chance I got at 125th St. A couple of FDNY engines were parked on the side and the Brothers were waiting, and I thank them for allowing me to park in between them. Within a few minutes the new boat came by. Finally got a chance to see it in person. The thing is huge!



Stay safe,

Great Shot Mark!

Whatever happened to the HME/Saulsbury Rescues that weren't destroyed? Wasn't it only R1 and R2? Thanks in advance

Are they still in service as spares or have they been disposed of? Haven't heard of them in a while.

as of last year i had seen one in use as a spare but not as of recently truing to figure if there is still one around to photograph. I think the reserve HME hazmat might still be at engine 206.
