Thanks "r1smokeater" for posting these. If it wasn"t for you doing this, none of these pictures would be posted at this time. I"m sure it is a time consuming chore. Thanks to you, now everybody can enjoy them.

Thank You very much "RWC130" for those kind words. Of course "r1smokeater" is the guy that has done all the work to post them, including looking up all the data on the rig, which I did not have. so for each picture is a lot of time consuming work for "HIM".

For me, I certainly enjoyed taking the pictures. I really started getting into that as the busy FDNY War Years (1968-1978 era) were starting to slow down. As the years passed by, I had these pictures sitting in my house and really not many people to share them with. Two things happened recently that allowed me to get these posted. One was that all of my photos were on 35 mm slides and I have a friend that was able to put these on a Disc for me. Two full books of rig shots put onto two small Disc. The other of course was having somebody willing and able to post them on this Site. Along comes "r1smokeater". I"ve never met him, but I hope to some day. For those that don"t know, "r1smokeater" is a firefighter on a Busy Rescue Co in the NYC area. I have a lot of respect for him, for what he does.

I"ve enjoyed seeing these pictures posted myself. And I"m happy that so many more people will be able to enjoy them also. And finely, Thank You for the kind words I"ve recieved. "It is "MY"Pleasure" ! ! !

Thanks to all involved! Great shots. Really enjoy seeing the shots of the unique apparatus that I never knew the FDNY used, like the Sutphen towers and the rear mount ALF/LTI towers.
