Any Vintage Mount Vernon or Yonkers FD Rigs from the 1960's and 1970's on the horizon?

[sfrd18 360]

For the Greenwich photo, Ladder 10 was one of two Ladders at the Central Firehouse. "Central" was and still is GFD HQ. It houses the paid GFD and three volunteer fire companies: Amogerone Vol. Fire Co. 1, Vol. Hose & Chemical Co. 2, and the Fire Patrol. At the time, the GFD ran an Engine and Ladder, Vol. Hose & Chemical ran an Engine or two, and Amogerone ran a Ladder(and a Seagrave tiller at one time). I believe Ladder 10 was Amogerone's volunteer piece.

Today, Central(prior to it's rehab. that is still ongoing), housed the paid GFD Engine 1, Tower 1, Special Ops. 1(Command Center), and the Deputy as well as Amogerone FD Squad 1, an air and light unit. Recently, Vol. Hose & Chemical purchased a small utility truck that they're using.

That is definately the Classic 1958 Ward LaFrance Engine 6 (The one with the Eagle Embalems that were gold leafed on both the side doors of the rig). Can't tell if the other Engine Company photographed with Engine 6 was a Ward LaFrance or one of the ALF's (Can tell from the Circle Embalem on the rear what Engine Company that one was from).

Does anyone have any ideas what Engine Company that was?

In this one it looks like the the truck had a catastrophic aerial failure. Any story on that?

in the works still.

[tommyguy 104]

I know this has been mentioned before but it's odd the older engine is the one with the enclosed cab. And they're both Seagraves to boot!

16fire5 yes that was a major failure, it was dec 4th 1971 the rig got delivered earlier that year, was operating at a 3 story apt building when it failed. There was 1 firefighter on the stick who rode the ladder down, luckily it twisted away from the fire instead of just falling straight into the fire otherwise we would have had an LODD. Of course being that Croton is suck a thriving metropolis rumors abounded that the FF died. For several months we had the only 25' stick. Cause went back and forth between the mfr and the village with no blame found on either parties part.

[KJ8806 44]

any idea if that rig from croton is still around

[xchief2x 79]

KJ8806 When we replaced with our current TL in 2002 the village donated it to the Upper Jay FD, I have no idea if it is still in service.

[xchief2x 79]

I hope you were talking about the ladder truck KJ

[MoFire390 118]

nice photo of verplanck's rescue...not sure where it ended up but if someone from the point is around maybe then can he you out. I'll even ask around to see if anyone knows where it went.
