That was a great old Maxim. I saw the older guys at Tri-State's Hose Co. 6 actually cry for losing an old friend when it was replaced in 1982 by Pemfab that was jinxed from the start.

"Maghogomock Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 was informally organized with 40 members in June of 1855, with Charles W. Douglas as Foreman. This was two years before the Fire Department of Port Jervis was officially formed. It was not until October 15, 1858, however, that The Maghogomocks was official listed as a company, which is also the year their first truck was received.
Their 1858 apparatus was built in Port Jervis, with conflicting reports attributing its manufacturer as either Hiller & Schofield Wagonmakers or Macomber & Holt Wagonmakers. Its cost was $225.00; $25.00 (11.11%) over the approved taxpayer price."
