The building in the first picture is at Rye DPW. It is the old mechanics garage before an addition. Now it houses garbage trucks, payloaders and salters.

There is a NY state firefighting museum located at the firemen's home in Hudson, NY. It has a lot of cool antique apparatus, equipment and pictures. Definately worth the trip. It is somewhere near the Rip Van Winkle Bridge up in the Catskills. I can't remember how to get there exactly.

It's right off of Route 9 and there is signs leading to it in Hudson if I remember correctly. I haven't been there in a while but do they have a great collection of equipment.
