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.

Was told there is a dealer up there and he has a few CF's for sale on commercial truck websites. Rumor is he wanted a lot of money for it. My dad (RIP) drove this rig on a regular basis and I remember it well. I also recall hearing that Valatie replaced the 500 gallon tank with a 1,000 gallon tank. Never verified it personally. It was one of 2 ordered by Bay Shore. I was told that one was sitting in Florida.



Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

Does any one know of a small fire apparatus builder located in Long Island NY near Oceanside?

A guy I was talking to said he remembers them building minitrucks there in the early 70's

How many Ahrens-foxs did Oceanside have. Was told a story about a fox they had from the collector that had my Dept Ladder truck. He had it in Ledge wood NJ and was selling the rig. The Dept did not want it and it was sold to some on from DuPont sons.

He painted it some wild color and re power the rig with a Detroit with a 8V71. Real sad to hear some do that to one of these trucks.

Where it went from there not sure.

Found this oldie from a parade I went to somewhere on Long Island about 30 years ago. A point-and-shoot special! Brookside FC of Uniondale, LI, NY Eng 754 was a GMC/American. No other info.
