I think I heard a story from someone within YFD a long time ago, relating that they could actually cook food inside the cab of those old Continential/Compac, as the surfaces within the cabs would get "that hot" (It must have been during those hard ecomonic times in Yonkers, back in the Mid 1980's when they went with the Continential/Compacs vs. the Mack CF's - As the previous poster had mentioned, the Yonkers FD Apparatus Fleet today is 2nd to None [Although it was really good back in the 1960's and early 1970's)
