[quote name='massfirebuff' post='126322' date='Jul 6 2007, 11:25 ']This particular piece is a 1985 Mack/Pierce that was purchased new by the city. As far as I know it originally served as Engine 1, then with the arrival of the two new E-Ones for Engines 1 and 7 in 1994 it was re-assigned to Engine 5. When Engine 1's 1994 E\-One was replaced 2000-ish the 1994 E\-One went to Engine 5, at which point this became reserve Engine 2...whew, that was a mouthfull!
Any correction on my timeline are welcome, since I may have missed something.[/quote]

[quote name='firstduephotos' post='57142' date='Dec 8 2006, 11:06 ']I see what appears to be some radiant heat damage on the driver's side of this piece. Anyone have the story behind the story? One of the mill/factory fires up that way perhaps??[/quote]
I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking most of it may have occured at the 10-bagger at Henry Leather on May 10th, 1984. Some more of it may have happened at the old Green Apple Nightclub fire on Rt. 1 north...not sure of the date. As has been said throughout the earlier posts, there were so many BIG factory and leather shop fires in the 70's and 80's that it could've happened at any of them. I know the piece was in service until 90 or 91 so it definatly saw some wild jobs in it's lifetime!!!

[quote name='FDNY1810' post='126764' date='Jul 7 2007, 18:17 ']242...This isn't the old Medford piece...this piece was actually Engine 1 when I came on then went to Engine 5 and then a spare followed by parts unknows. The old Medford piece, I think, is still up at Engine 7 but OOS due to severe safety issues...[/quote]
I Stand Corrected.... Thanks MFD !
