(Unable to post in the other thread, so I started this one. If moderators want to merge with the existing thread that is fine with me.)

The latest addition to the yard in Bedford Hills is this Ford C/Pierce labeled "Burkettsville". Unknown year or specs, possibly out of Ohio. The Ford C/Saulsbury from Danbury PD (ex Danbury FD) is no longer there

You beat me to this pic. I took almost the same one two weeks ago, just haven't had time to post them.

Not being shipped to Equador or anything, but I saw this while on vacation near Myrtle Beach, SC. Could not find the year on it, but I got some photos I thought some of you would like.. This has been here for a long time.. Enjoy & I have more of it, let me know if you want to see them( the rear, etc.)

[x4093k 654]

A few more... Sorry for some that are blurry.

Hate to see an empty bed! (Scroll up to see more)

Good morning.

I think that empty hose bed shot is eerily artfully done. Nice shot.

[x129K 1,393]

Definitly a great shot.

Found this unknown Seagrave behind the fence at Brookfield today. Possible early to mid 90's. Anyone have any idea were it may have come from?

Yonkers used Seagrave Ladders back then.It could be a Ex-Yonkers.

From info I got overall at firepics.net , it is an 1989 or 91 ex-FDNY Bureau of Training rig. Thank you to FDNYtrucks.com for the info.

I think you should mention that to the department that sold the rig...

[grumpyff 1,159]

On firepics.net it said this unit was being replaced in 2010. Not sure where its been for the last 2 years.

[IzzyEng4 427]

The Esopus pumper was retired within the past 5 years or so if I'm not mistaken.

[grumpyff 1,159]

Looks like it was replaced by a 2009 Pierce Contender

Last I knew, the Ridgefield Park Mack had been either sold or donated to a foreign country. Deal made long before Sandy. Where it's been since...no idea.

Serious question: Has anyone ever been able to successfully rescue a rig from Brookfield?

[PCFD ENG58 1,085]

NO NO NO NO NO and NO ,Not after he got sued

[AndyC3J 190]

Wow. I remember hearing of people who tried in the past, and were told no because he wanted the scrap value. Turned down the cash equivalent of what he'd get for the scrap, too, supposedly....seemed bent on trashing the rig no matter what.

I would have loved to get the RP Mack (I know, different place, but.....) but didn't - and still don't - have the resources to do so.
