Rescue 3 - circa 1950's

This is not the '50s. This has to be the 70s, possibly early '80s.

That Mack is an R model which would suggest that the photos were taken in 1966 or later….

FDNY adopted its patch after 1976, so these pix are probably late 1970s.

The rig is R-3's 1971 Mack/Providence rescue. The next one was the 1979 Mack/Pierce.

I have to agree that these pictures were later than the 1950s. I think this is the second generation of a rescue style White chassis style body. The first was similar in compartments but was powered by a White (brand name) truck.

Eastchester had a White in the late 1950s. I think the Chief was FDNY's and said "I'll take one of them"

I'll look for pics
