I have driven everything in the house except Truck 247. I have to say 242 drives like the Cadillac of firetrucks. :driving:

 

I miss this house! :tear:

And just for fun a 1846 Button hand pumper. Morrisville Fire Dept is the original owner of these piece as well. Few of these left out there especially still owned by the original purchaser.

Edit: And if you look in the back ground you can see our old Salsbury Heavy Rescue. 242 took the place of this truck and the old 242.

Dam that is alot of BRT's (big red trucks) in the station .

 

 

Yeah a little too many. We needed a bigger station but there was no way in hell we were going to get it. The sad part is that they used to have the man power to pack all the trucks. Not so much anymore. The Salsbury Hevy rescue in the picture of the hand pumper had something like 11 seats with packs in the back of it. We had a mutual aid fire one night and we got called for that truck and man power. We had enough people to pack that thing full and still had an engine crew plus some others left over. Now they are lucky to turn enough guys for an engine crew.
