Pic #12 in that group of photos is a CLASSIC!!!!........A city cop helping the Field Comm Lt. lift the Field Comm command board over some line............Something you would NEVER see today...........

Heard the reason why Seagrave didn't even bid on these rescues and new rearmounts was because the job put too many clauses into the warranty. Seagrave wanted no part of that.

The Pelham engine is basically an FDNY rig that was never delivered to FDNY. It was even in FDNY graphics, and used by Ferrara as a demonstrator before Pelham picked it up. I remember they had it down in Baltimore a few years ago. The only other FDNY Engines like this one are 54, 258, and 26. I was assigned to 54 Engine when they got their Ferrara. I didn't like it..................... Mt. Vernon's engine's were built to FDNY specs.

The cab looks VERY similar to the current E-One Saulsbury Rescues.

Moral of the story: Don't read the Post!!!!!!!!!

You know who I am...............YES, around that time frame, we ran out of Caisson rigs............as inconceivable as that is.................My old house lost 15 guys..........I remember an old Mack CF engine from Wyckoff, NJ being the caisson rig for about 3 guys from my house.......................................They found about 5 other guys............the rest have STILL NEVER been recovered!.......................I'll never forgive the muslims............................

Myself and some other Brothers from my Battalion traveled out to Chicago to march in the 2006 Chicago Southside St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Fire Family Transport Fund had this antique rig trailered out to Chicago to lead the FDNY contingent in the parade..................WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

83 Engine and 29 Truck in The Bronx holds an annual Texas Hold'em Tournament in a church basement across from their quarters, which is usually pretty successful. I'm not a card player, but alot of guys in my house are and have played in the tourney. PM me and i'll find out more info for ya.

Who else had Compac's in the area besides Yonkers? Don't believe this is a Yonkers rig..........from the pics i've seen on here, the only 2 door Compac engine that YFD had, was the refurbed ALF with the front suction, and I don't see any front suction.

You're not talking about FDNY................Are you?

I grew up looking at this truck rot away on Taylor's Lane in Cinnaminson, NJ. The guy who owned it left it in his driveway with a blue tarp over it, rear half sticking out of the tarp for over 20 years. I should have knocked on his door and punched him in the face for letting this rig get to the condition it's in.................Would love to see some current pics of this rig, and hope that it's restored to it's original glory!!!!!!

Pic was taken on Lincoln Ave. right by the Hutch on the Mt. Vernon/Pelham border. My wife grew up about 4 blocks away on the Pelham side. The Getty gas station is still there.

Hey Cap, Good to see you're still buffin'!!! Getting detailed to 23 Engine to drive you was always a pleasure! Hope you're enjoying retirement! Marc Dore' 46 Engine
