I remember the Jeep fire truck at Edgewater Park. My Aunt and Uncle had a place a few blocks from there and we would walk over to shop in their grocery store.
As a kid I loved Jeeps. In fact when I built the "fire truck" that my brother Gene and Ed Kilduff used to play with, I made the front look like a Jeep. It was a good way to build since you could square things off and still keep the "look." Wish I had a picture!
Also, Jack Calderone has since published a book titled "They Also Served" covering non FDNY apparatus that was assigned within the city. I would look up the information but I don't have the book with me here in Florida. 8) 8) 8)
