Old Somers VFD NY apparatus

5 posts in this topic



Westchester's first tanker, had an 800 gallon tank. I believe this served until the 4 Seagrave 70th Anniversary Srs. engines were delivered in 1958.

Eight dollars? Are they selling the flyer or the truck? I'd say that's the cheapest fire truck ever!

Chris498 is correct!

Engine 164 was Westchester's First Tanker with an 800 gallon booster tank and a 500 GPM pump. It was the first piece of apparatus assigned to Amawalk Fire House (back when it was a barn behind the old school house), and the third new apparatus purchased by the Somers Volunteer Fire Department, before the Somers Fire District was formed.

Unfortunately, this is the only rig that I was never able to get a good accounting of, as to why we got rid of it and who it went to, and why we kept the 2 older rigs (1940 & 1943) when the 4 new Seagraves came in 1958.

We also don't have many pictures of it either!

We do have another copy of this same ad in our historical files.
