VINTAGE FDNY RIG PHOTOS.

[JohnnyGage]

Those single axle Seagraves are my favorite looking and sounding trucks FDNY has had.

Only thing about the 80's Seagraves they did not have a great steering radius compared to the Seagraves with phone booth.

This was one of the last Mack C models from the early '60s. Their double headlights are distinctive. E45 had one of these. If the photo is from the Bronx it's likely the truck is either L31 or L38. Any idea what borough?

Almost identical to the 1936 model Mack except for the roof on the cab and Subway style straps across the back step. I believe this was the first frontline FDNY apparatus to have an enclosed cab.

My 1st unit out of Proby school was Engine 27 at 173 Franklyn St. on Manhattan's Lower east side-SOHO. When I was appointed there, they had a 1970 Mack CF. engine 27 was closed shortly after the Firefighter Layoff's in 1975. For short while after the July 1975 Firefighter Layoffs, including myself, Super Pumper Systems Satellite 1 was quartered and manned by E-27, until E-27 was closed. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
