Last night after a pumping drill Meadowmere Parks antique unit 335 responded to a auto accident with their other units. The enigne is a 1951 Chevy Maxim that pumped really well. I think FireCom was surprised to hear the unit 22 instead of just going to parades. I just brought this up since I remember reading about another antique at a call.

[uselesskomish]

any pics of the rig?

[gotum]

i know one of their older rigs still rolls, dont know how old it is but it looks older.

[MasonDixon]

How many antiques do they have, I thought their station was small?

[Bruce]

one engine is older its actually in the pics of the fire they had by costco wherever that is in the rant, they have a ford small rescue type truck a newer engine, bus, boat, and haz mat trailer.. i think... one house i believe the bus stays out on the ramp with the boat

[gotum]

they have an older engine thats half enclosed and is first due in the summer, no clue how old it is but it looks to be up there

[pyroforyou]

Engine 331 is a 1989 E-one with the half open cab. it used to be first due in the summer but isnt anymore since a new rescue is coming next month things had to get moved around. Eng 332 is a 1999 E-one and is alwas first due. The antique engine 335 is kept in a storage garage.

Here are pics i hope it works:

Great River FD, which is in Suffolk (just east of East Islip) has a BEAUTIFUL 1928 Maxim... that is my all time favorite truck.

They use it for parades only it doesn't respond from what i understand.

Lynbrook also has an Ahrens Fox, The Fox is BEAUTIFUL also... i think it is a 1927 not sure though.

Doesnt Baldwin also have that older mack with the completely open cab "convertiable style" i guess you can call it


I remember seeing a pic of it pumping at the roosevelt fire awhile back ago, and I heard surrounding depts specifically call for that engine for M/A if needed...


And does anyone know if Valley Stream has the old engine 3??

The 1927 Ahrens-Fox pumper shown above and below is the actual truck used by Engine Company No.1 from 1927 until it was retired in 1954. The truck was sold to a farm, where the truck was used for many years. Engine Company was fortunate to re-acquire the truck in 1983. The truck was meticulously restored to its original condition over the past 17 years, in no small part due to the generosity of Neale MacCarn.

yeah, 2033 is an active unit 2nd due piece for Hose 3. Currently carries the only 5" hose (supply hose) in Baldwin.

The Fox, 2011 does not respond to calls.
