Yonkers, NY FD
J - glad to hear about the grant! You guys can rest easier with a full compliment of guys to do the work!



I agree - the rigs should be shot in their element..Schroeder Street....Getty Square...the Tree Streets..and my fave - Buena Vista!



I have been really contemplating going down and riding around the old stomping grounds one day....

That rig was ExEngine-311, a 1986 Mack CF/Ward79 (FDNY spec) one of 3-1986's we ordered. The hosebed "conestoga" cover was painted white so u can tell it wasn't a pumper (the pump was removed and extra space added)We also had 3-1988's, 3-1990's and 2-1992/3's......of course they were great rigs !!!
