Tour of New Jersey
I know some of my data on the apparatus may be off. I don't memorize every single spec to every piece of apparatus. If i have an opportunity to shoot trucks I take it. Any suggestions and/or corrections are always welcome. I'm a 3rd generation firefighter, who just loves trucks and what they do. Beyond them putting fires out, specs just aren't my thing.

I like to recieve the correct information from FirePics member on the trucks that I post and photos that others post.

I like to keep information of the rigs correct. Sometimes this is usefull to those who save photos of trucks from a certain area or builder. This is also usefull to departments that are building a web site or a history of their department. I would like to thank all of the members who contribute the information as well as the photos.

They still have this or did it get replaced?

Joel,



The Mack from Frenchtown was replaced by a Spartan/4-Guys, as far as I know. I was across the river from it in Bucks County a couple years back, and wanted to make the trip over, but the guys in Bucks said it was gone.

I will ask around. I have heard it is gone, then I heard it was being kept outside... I might just take a ride I have a couple days off this week.

The old Rescue 33 is being converted into Special Services 33, which will include dive rescue support, after speaking with some of their members at this year's Mercer County Fire Prevention Parade in Hopewell.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info on the Frenchtown Mack, I figured it was replaced by the 4 Guys, was hoping it might still be in reserve.
