vision386 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I found some pictures of some Mack fire tankers used by a neighboring company when i lived in Jersey,thought they might be of some interest to the "fire buffs" on here,if you go to their website,there is also a short story about a 1931 Brockway which is undergoing restoration..............Markhttp://www.fvf431.com/retiredtrucks.html Quote Mack Truck literate.

Firemack Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 MarkThanks for the picture, Interesting that SueJoe from this site just sent me a picture of a similar B Model tanker from Florida, it is now retired and should be at Lititz, so I will be looking forward to seeing it in person.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19149-mack-fire-tankers/#findComment-78099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 On their website, the Marsh Harbour Fire Brigade in the Bahamas shows their Engine 5, a 1958 Mack "B" tandem axle pumper/tanker. The truck is still marked for the Maidstone Fire Department. I have tried to find a Maidstone Fire Department on the internet but no luck. I know that there is a Maidstone, VT but they do not have a fire department. I have also found a gated community in Florida named Maidstone. Anyone know where this pumper and the Maidstone "B" model tanker came from? Also, MHVFB specs say that Engine 5 is a 500/500. Don't know why you would need a tandem axle to carry 500 gallons of water unless it's also a quad. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19149-mack-fire-tankers/#findComment-78271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
