Bellmore Engine 603, on one of its worst days. Broke down by our house returning from an alarm. Engine 601 from Newbridge station hooked a chain up and dragged her onto the side street. It was a sign...603 was replaced a short time later. (Another pic by a ten year old, hence the neighbor's dog and fence.)

I don't have the specifics, but it is a late 1950's/early 1960's International B Series chassis. Body could be a Maxim or possibly a Young. I see similarities to both.

There's a MAXIM logo on the front fender next to the "International" script...

Trying to locate old ladder truck from my company. The only info I have is that it was a 1941 Seagrave ladder truck that started in Union NJ, and then went to West Paterson Fire Department Co 2. After that it was sold to a gentleman in Poughkeepsie, ny with the name Van Cort which he put on the truck. Any info would help.

One of two almost identical trucks. I think this is the older of the 2, gas engine, 5 speed trans, hyd. brakes. The newer one (by about 4 years if I remember right), was a diesel automatic with air brakes.

I think the body on this guy was by Maday Body Co. (local body builder). The body was taken off this Ford and put on a GMC (6500??) in the mid70s. Don't know what happened to it.

I am trying to help locate this 1958 Mack B95 pumper that formerly served in Valatie, NY. It originally served in Bay Shore, NY. It was sold in 2000 to Westbury, NY. I have been told that it was sold to someone in the "Albany area". If anyone has any information about this truck, please let me know. Thank you. Credit to original photographer.
