Are these getting refurbed or are they at the place that slices them up?


Stay safe, Brothers.

The ESU units look to be in decent shape.

Is that the YFD rearmount that was just on Ebay?

I know the story behind these trucks, but it kind of boggles me as to why you wouldn't at the very least offer to sell things off of the trucks before scrapping- nameplates. I know the owners/employess don't care, but if the name of the game is money, and you can scrap a truck for example, for $2500, why not take a nameplate that takes 2 minutes to get off, turn and burn another $100.

 

As a general rule, would someone not want to pay what they're asking to save a truck from the scrapyard, or does Brookfields flat out refuse to sell them to someone else, even if they can make more money with that alternative?

 

Trav!

Once Brookfield takes ownership that is it. It was mentioned previously that they were sued, and now to protect themselves no longer allow people to walk around their yards to look for parts, and also no longer sell trucks.  I was told it is a liability, and then even refused my effort at one point to have a lawyer draw  up a hold harmless clause on a truck I wanted to purchase years ago. Sucks, but it is what it is.  The ESU trucks were sold via copart.com, there was yeloow crayon marks on the doors indicating the website.

Back in 1985 I ran across this batch of FDNY Seagrave Rearmount Aerials at the Brandywine Junkyard in Maryland. I thought at the time that it would be a great opportunity for some volunteer departments in the area (or anywhere for that fact) a chance to get into truck 

operations for not a lot of money.

   

Boy was I wrong, none of these units made it back out of them gates as the ladders were cut up and used for building shelving so they 

could store the car and truck parts as they were getting "parted out".

Not really sure much about this truck.  Micah and I found it in Winston-Salem a few weeks ago.  It was inside a fenced in lot, so we were unable to get any specs.
