FASNY's Fire Museum

40 posts in this topic

Well, was in NY this past week, and I made a stop at FASNY's Impressive Fire Musuem. Here's some shots from the musuem. Due to apparatus placement, the shots often have a corner or so cut off, due to difficulties fitting the whole thing in.

First off: An old Ward LaFrance 'utility' from Somers.

Second, a 1972 Ford C/Maxim Pumper

Third, a 1946 American LaFrance JOX

A side shot of a BEAUTIFUL 1957 MACK B. I really wish I could've gotten a better shot of it. The area around the B was cramped.

How about a 1966 Mack C model? I really don't get why both of these Macks were placed in bad spots for photos. THEY'RE MACKS FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!

The first picture of the Somers rig is the original Rescue 20. I can't think of the year right now though.

1947. Was one of three of that model ever built and the last to survive. It was sent to the museum in 2001.

No, the current R20 did not replace this rig. The current R20 was put in service in 2005. The former R20 was used as a parade/muster and funeral piece from at least the late '80s on (although I do remember it being called from time to time for it's lighting).

great pics mike. i went there 3 years ago and it was such an awesome place to go to.

i did take pics as well, but my digital camera f'd up an i had to get a throw away. i especially loved that wooden ladder truck. also did you see the first "fire truck" in NYS? it's more of a wooden box with wheels, but still the first.

Vacguy, that's a Negative. If I saw it, I didn't notice it.

Thanks guys! I really tried my best for the photos!

On a side note, MANY more photos to put up here.

Was it the hand truck with buckets on it? If so, I don't have a photo of it.

The WHOLE patch collection from across the nation was there. However, there was no patch collection just from MA. As for Paxton, they're in our Fire District (Mutual Aid Network, not our jurisdiction) and courtesy of the District's website here's their patch:

hey, can't find the pic, but the fasny site has a photo of it. click on the link, it's the 4th photo down. the caption says it's the oldest fire engine in nys. when i was there i was told it was the first by a museum volunteer. either way it's a 277 year old fire engine...how often do you see that!!
