The cf mack that you are looking for is in RAYLAND OHIO. They bought it in 2001 [hows that kid] !

Great save, the use of foam and pressure allways puts the fire out.

PORT CHESTER FIRE LADDER 31 YEARS END 1981 SEAGRAVE 100' TILLER OUT SMEAL 100' REARMOUNT IN. ENGINE 62 1981 MACK CF OUT, BIDS DO SOON FOR REPLACEMENT. ENGINE 58 NOW LOOKING AT WHAT IS OUT THERE FOR BIDS AFTER NEW BUGET IN JUNE 08.

Yea thats me PCFD ENG58 17 Years ago class 3/90 Valhalla.

those are NOT the pompier ladders that we trained with at the probie classes of the 80"s and early 90"s in VALHALLA. single rung with larger hook at the top

1923 for engine 58 and 1927 for engine 59. Engine 58 had and still to some degree has a large commercal area some of the great manufacturer's like LIFE SAVERS,MARVEL MYSTERY OIL, HOMELITE ARONLDS BREAD, EMPIRE BRUSH WORKS, R B& W BOLT AND NUT FACTORYS ALL BORN IN PORT CHESTER. THE FIRE LOAD LIKE TODAY IS VERY HEAVY! Engine 59 covers the top of PORT CHESTER and all of RYE BROOK long before there was a RYE BROOK. IT was know as RYE TOWN and had a lot of farms and big estates and don't forget the airport back in the day when they only had a small hut for a firehouse and two used fire engines. alot of people still think the airport is in WHITE PLAINS. most of the original buildings are in the PORT CHESTER responce area from the fuel farms to the left , the main terminal and all the large hangers! Engine 58 in the 1970's was the busiest engine in WESTCHESTER COUNTY, just ask some of the older member's. that's when Engine 58 picked up the nick name [MIDNIGHT SPECIAL ] it ran all night along with some of the busiest volunteer companys in the state.

I tried for 5 years to get this rig, but it was picked up by my friend who was there at the right time with stuff in his pockets!

Engine 58 or Engine 59 as a rule doen't make a water source on arival. the next due vol engine gives a line to engine 58. Engine 58 is a attack engine and hits the fire with its tank water until a supply line is set up A bigger tank will give us a little more time.

Just starting out with looking at what is out there. 1ooo gal tank 1500gpm rescue style body, full foam cap. short wheelbase 6 or 8 man cab with less seats and more storage space for small tools.

DINNER ON THE POST ROAD OR HUBBA HUBBA IF YOUR DRUNK!

THATS A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE. TWO MEN ON ENGINE 58 AND ONE ONLY ON ENGINE 59. WITH TIME OFF ON BOTH RIGS DURING THE YEAR ENGINE 58 RUNS ABOUT 80 % OF THE TIME WITH ONE FIREFIGHTER ON BOARD. THIS IS ABOUT THE RIG NOT THE MANPOWER OR LACK OF IT SO LETS STAY WITH THE TOPIC, THANK YOU

SOMEBODY GOTS TO DRIVE THE RIG!!

IT will be somewhat like the present rig, very user friendly. class a pumper set up to handle just about anything it faces from a garbage can to a 737 at the airport.

GOOD LUCK TO BRIARCLIFF MANOR ON WINNING THE BEST ANTIQUE IN TODAYS COUNTY PARADE. MY FAMILY HAS SPONSERED THAT AWARD IN PORT CHESTER FOR MANY YEARS.

SPOSTA IN MEMORY OF ANDREW N. SPOSTA

RYE FIRE INSPECTOR? AIRPORT IS RYE BROOK HARRISON AND ARMONK AND NOT WHITE PLAINS!

NO FOXS WERE REPOWERED IN WESTCHESTER. MOST WERE GONE BEFORE THE REPOWER SURGE OF THE MID 70S'

BEDFORD HILLS PUMPER IS AT BEDFORD HILL WOMAN'S PRISON. IT REPLACED A WARD LAFRANCE/C FORD PUMPER.

I fully agree that there should be a age limit. you should be at least 30 years old to "get on the job" that will take care of all those runnie nose kids!

ROOKEES ALL ROOKEES, 1942 SEAGRAVE WAR BABY. NO BRIGHT WORK SO IT WILL NOT BE A TARGET FOR A AIRPLANE ATTACK DURING WW2. EVERTHING WAS PAINTED. MUST OF HAD A FACTORY IN TOWN TO MAKE WAR PARTS OR THEY NEVER WHOULD HAVE RECIVED ENGINE,VERY RARE AT THAT TIME!
