Very nice old truck; hope that they can find room for it in the station before it's too late.

Typo no doubt. I'm sure you mean 1948, not 1978.

Ditto; I'm going to miss my daily Mack fire truck fix.

OBTW; Typo on the Scenic Brook pic. B85F, not B86F. After all these I understand why you would be tired and miss a couple of tiny things. Thanks again!

Thanks, guys, I'm glad you enjoyed them.  (I fixed the "B-86" typo).  I was out today shooting apparatus, but didn't run across any Macks.  They are still out there and I am sure I'll add more in time.  That Jasper Aerialscope is one I just photographed in April.

46 years old and still in front line service! That would be a poster child for Mack (and Baker) if they still built fire apparatus.

Thanks for all the photos, they show the wide array of apparatus that Mack built over the years. There are still a few Macks in service in smaller departments in northern New England. 

After years of departments moving away from Mack for tanker chassis, going to IHC, Kenworth, etc., a few new tankers have been built on Mack "Granite" chassis:

Windham, NH - 2016 Granite/Rosenbauer, 1500/3000

Rochester, NH - 2016 Granite/Toyne, 1500/3000

Killington, VT - 2016 Granite/KME, ?/3000

It's a start!!
