Generator was used during Hurricane Irene to power an emergency shelter run by the Town of Greenburgh.

Other photos of this vehicle were taken by x635 and posted a few weeks ago.

For and early 90's (?) Ford, it looks to be in good shape. Especially since it served and ran alot in Greenville and Fairview.

Is the work being done by the Greenburgh DPW shops?

Yes. The Greenburgh DPW shops has an extensive fleet program and very skilled mechanics, including auto/truck body repairs and a paint booth big enough for trucks.

I'm not sure why they didn't leave Rescue 29 put together?

Here's the OLD unit together in 2004:
