Westchester NY Area Mack Fire Apparatus


General Ike

Recommended Posts

After my last post of the '87 R-Model tanker for sale, I think I'll start adding some photos from my old stomping grounds.  Unless otherwise noted, all photos credit goes to the individual fire department websites.  I may add a few South Central PA rigs as well... I stomped there for a while too.

All apparatus in service unless otherwise noted.

That Dobbs Ferry aerialscope has been sold. The buyer took the aerial off and is re-mounting on a Seagrave chassis. The Mack chassis was sold to a Construction company or a farmer who I believe mounted a water tank on it. Pictures went around recently on facebook. Still has the Dobbs Ferry markings on it.

Good to know.

the way it was explained to me by a retired deputy chief, it was to see up in the tight confines of the city. 

with a closed cab you had to step out on the running board to look up. 

when you are up to your armpits in alligators,

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
