How about a pair of Mack "L"s???



I took this picture at a muster in the early '80s.



The open cab is a '54, 750 GPM Pumper. It was owned by the Laurelton Fire Dept. (which I belong to) in Irondequoit, Monroe Co., NY. It is now owned by a private collector in Vermont.



The closed cab is a '51 750 GPM Quad. It is owned by the Geneseo (Livingston Co.) NY Fire Dept. This unit is currently being restored.

It's got a garden hose size discharge that looks like part of the pump but can really be connected to a keg of beer. I've seen it at the Port Jervis parade and have imbibed in some of the brew a few times thanks to the very hospitable guys from Jeffersonville.[/quote]

Here is a shot of the beer tap!

And here is the truck

In the days before Quints and Midis Rochester had 11 Truck Companies. This Grumman was run I think as Truck 9. Taken by me at a Muster 20+ years ago.

Rochester Truck 4 ran with this Seagrave 100 footer. Taken by me at a Muster 20 years ago. Sorry on the graininess on this and the one before it, they were taken with a Disc Camera.

Yes that was T-9(now Quint/Midi 7), was the first all aluminum aerial by Pirsch, the last Pirsch aerial we ever purchased(after a long history with Pirsch aerials), & was a complete piece of junk. It was only in service a few years & I believe was delivered in 1981, 82. The last Seagrave aerial was T-6 & went out of service in 1986 when Quint 6 got their first E\-One.(it ran as T-6 for a short time, until the midi came in to replace E-2)

Question: Is one of those tandem axle B Macks sitting in NJ on the Mahwah/Suffern border? Was up there a few times and see it in a lot. Was some time ago, but it may still be there.
