Does Croton have an antique? They are a very proud department, and would love to see a Mack CF retained by a department that would take good care of it. Could also be a spare engine for the village......like when Engine 119 went OOS for a little while for upgrades

Croton FD does not have any antique apparatus. Croton is a municipal department, not a fire district, so all funding,  equipment and firehouses are through the village government, run by the board of trustees. Apparatus are managed by the DPW fleet mechanics. FD just makes sure that they're ready for calls, DPW handles actual maintenance. The village fought the addition of U14 to the fleet and keeps pushing back the replacement of R18 and E118, both over 23 years old. There's no money for an antique apparatus, no where to put it and there are higher priorities. I'd love to get the '63 Mack R18 back as an antique or the '84 Mack CF E119. Unfortunately, it isn't feasible at this time.

You and me both.   Missed out on it twice before (when Croton sold it, and when Maywood sold it).   Gonna go buy a Lotto ticket.....maybe third time's the charm?
