  1. Just to let everybody know, Glen from the Chuchill Hose Haulers is selling his 1963 Maxim Pumper for $5000. The rig was in service with the Dobbs Ferry FD of Westerchester County

    It runs - pumps and has alot of the equipment still on it, I didn't notice any rust, body looks good, the chrome is starting to pit and needs a good waxing


  2. Is that old ford fire truck lettered for new hakensack F.D. owned by NKFD or is it privately owned, I've never seen that rig before. Guess you were right x635.

    They own it. it's a 1949, They gave it to Vassar College back in the 70's and Got it back in the early 90's, They have been an awesome job restoring her.


  3. That is not the first time the exempts have said" they are the voice of the volunteers in Dutchess County" . This quote has been in the Journal every time there is an article about the exempts. I think we really need to find out what the exempts do/are. The only thing I know about them is they all sit out on their deck/ bar on North Clinton St and drink til the wee hrs of the morn. I think they get a lot more credit then they deserve. Yes the memorial is nice and all, but I agree with Don a little over the top. Plus I feel the Dutchess 911 center would have been a better place for the placement of the memorial rather then the "Ghetto" park.

    The 911 center has a memorial there, but it's not the Exempts, so if you don't own it, you can't control it.


  4. Dang It, Mark!

    Nice but where are they now, I spent alot of time there in the 90s and don't remember them


  7. Additional Photos of old Mahopac Eng 49. We sold it to E Schodak in Renselleer County. I last saw it in the late 80's early 90's. since then we have learned it went to Amenia and was lettered for the Amenia Rural Fire Dept. ( Any Dutchess guys want to explain?) Seth found it on a photo hunt a couple of years ago. I berlieve Luke owns it now

    The last time I saw it was in early December and it was sitting in a tree farm on Traver Rd in Pleasent Valley

    A couple of us have an idea about a 100th anniversery (2014) restore but nothing serions yet. It would be nice though

    I know Luke purchased a few rigs from this guy recently, but I don't know if this was one of them
