Went for a ride today to Sleepy Hollow and saw this beautiful Pierce sitting outside in front of the fire station.

I was looking at that too, it was a strainer but the screen was in about 4", wish I had more time to spend there taking photos of the Engine and what was inside the compartments but they got a run so off they went!

Looks like an older, possibly in-house-made low-level strainer to me. I know we have a similar one made of brass for pony suction on E118.
