TR, as always, thanks for sharing these great pictures!

I love the old apparatus, especially the Maxim ladder & Maxim(?) pumper.

This was accross the street from the old Ossining Village PD HQ if i am not mistaken (which they occupied until about 2000). I am correct in saying that there is a VW Beetle that appears to be marked w/lights lol?

Yeah the apparatus you see would happen to be Senate H&L L-41, Cataract Hose E-97, and Monitor Hose E-99. That is the old Village Police HQ which happens to be the Ossining Town and Village Hall present day.
