vision386 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I never got a good explanation as to why Mack got out of the fire apparatus industry,i mean i remember at one time the FDNY was approx. 90 percent Mack,both in standard and specialty trucks (super pumper,super tender etc.) seems to me why mess with a good thing? maybe one of the fire truck guys can explain?......................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Why that happened? I don't know but i sure would like to. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack 3P Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I was told Mack was not making any money on the fire trucks. KME bought the Mack fire line. I was told they had people come down and take everything from parts and prints to tooling. There is still a connection between the companies, a number of people at Mack started their carear at KME.
