And I shot this former Essex County spare truck out behind Danvers Station 2 yesterday. It also served a few communities back in its day...of which others on here would know more than I do.

That would be her. I guess she finally finished making the rounds as the Metrofire spare.

I know Salem ran it while their '83 Maxim was being refurbed the first time. Peabody ran it, as well as Lynnfield for a time prior to them putting the scope in service they have now.



Any other additions are welcome.

[quote name='massfirebuff' post='149925' date='Sep 20 2007, 19:12 ']Thanks for all the info! I was surprised to see this rig considering the workout Peabody's rigs get and the length of time this was in service...I figured it was scrapped looong ago.



Looks like it will clean up nicely!



Oddly enough when I spotted this rig sitting out back, I was on my way to Borders on 114 to pick of the "Peabody Firefighting" book, in which this very rig is pictured. Great book by the way, learned lots of neat little tidbits, and saw some great photos too.[/quote]





HOW IS the Book ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The latest I heard was about a year ago, just before departing DFD for CFD. It was slated to head to a fire musuem in Australia via C-130 a few years ago. However, with most military equipment being used in the middle east, those plans were on hold.



Most departments in Essex County have used it at some point - it is the Essex county spare. It started as a Boston ladder originally, possibly saw service in Cambridge before coming to Essex County. It was moved out of the station over 2 years ago so the station could be used for a Seabrook drill and upon moving it, everything started leaking, steering went and brakes went. It has sat ever since becoming a home to about 3000 bees.

Went to Danvers today to shoot their apparatus. What a perfect day for picture taking. Thanks to Bob A. who is a member here for meeting up with me and pulling the apparatus out for shots. Thanks!!!!!

Bob's finally a whacker....I love it....
