I'm going to take a stab at it and say TL-44 was a 1978 or earlier, TL-41 is either a 1979 or 80, leaning more towards a 1980 by looking at the lights/lettering. Engine 43 behind Div 6 is a 1986, the last year they were delivered with the covered hose bed. BN-12's car is a 1990-92 era, if memory serves me right.

BFU-506- did that end up with West Hamilton Beach Fire? Thought I remember seeing it working a brush fire sometime in late 2003?

[JBE 328]

It just might have been. Looks like it's been replaced though.

Engine 70 was one of the "combo" units that FDNY had in the late 70's/early 80's to save manpower and $$.

Lake Carmel FD purchased the rig from FDNY in about 1988. I remember travelling down to the shops and picking the rig up. Drew Hanson, retired Lt. FDNY, and I drove the truck back to Lake Carmel. The automatic transmission had 2-speeds.....Low.....and semi-low ! Was quite an experience going up 684.

I"d like to THANK "r1smokeater" for posting these photos. I"m glad he was able to do it, and share these photos with others who would enjoy them. I have several more that I hope to get to him shortly so he can post them. I must confess though, that all of those previous photos were not taken by me. Some were given to me by a friend.
