    New Seagrave Contracts

    Chassis is a Mack. Cab was produced by Truck Cab Manufacturing. Body was Sutphen. Seems to be the same cab, but without the rear portion behind the door (with small compartment.)

    New Seagrave Contracts

    The question is: does the logo on the engine on the logo on the engine have a picture of the engine? Sort of an infinite mirror situation. Seriously, though, I would guess that they took a photo of the rig with all of its striping and numbering done, photoshopped a simplified version of the...

    New Seagrave Contracts

    Sorry, that was the only pic that I found of a satellite actually flowing water at a scene. I thought it would be a more dramatic image. While they can flow just 1,000 GPM from one old pumper (with the 2" tip), they have the ability to flow over 5,000 GPM (with larger tips on the older ones or...

    New Seagrave Contracts

    Really quick 'n' dirty mockup: This is actually the second time that I have mocked up a Seagrave FDNY Rescue. The first was when we built the Seagrave/Saulsbury rescue for Berwyn Heights, MD (later sold to Annville.) It was a customer-supplied Seagrave chassis, but we got the CAD drawings...

    New Seagrave Contracts

    Near as I can tell, it's all Seagrave. This one, too. Obviously, neither has the recessed light panels that FDNY likes, but I'm confident that Seagrave could figure it out.

    Maxi Water Unit

    Thanks for the links. A lot of good info about the Super Pumper and some pics of the MWU, but still no details about what the MWU specifically was. If it was simply another satellite that was housed with the SP and was staffed by the "boss of the operations on the fireground," as grumpy...

    Very Last E-One Heavy Rescue Spare

    I remember working at Saulsbury and drawing up a mockup of a "new FDNY rescue on a short E-One cab" back in around 1999 (damn, I feel old.) Somewhere, I still have the first set of large prints that I made. Never got to see them finished, though. I did get to ride to a call in the back of the...

    Maxi Water Unit

    So ... I seemed to have brushed up against a very touchy subject. 😁 Interesting. They were housed at E207, where the Super Pumper was last housed (I believe), so it would make sense.

    Maxi Water Unit

    Why was the Maxi Water Unit - what appeared to be just like the other five satellites - called something different? I'm guessing that there was some special purpose, since Brooklynne is the only borough with two satellites. Why was the name dropped (became Satellite 6 sometime between 1993 and...
