After the war this particular Mack was sold to the Paxton, MA Fire Department where it was Engine 3. It later found its way to the Rhode Island SPAAMFAA group who did a complete restoration. The twin Mack was sold to the Boston,MA Fire Department where it was assigned to Engine 54 at the Long Island Hospital fire brigade. I don't know what happened to it after Boston. bulldogboy According to the Boston Fire Historical Society website, she was first assigned to Engine 33 (67-68) when they still had a 2piece company, then went to E-49 (68-71), then became a spare, before being Engine 54. She was replaced, then went back into the spare pool, then scrapped in 1984.
