fxfymn Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Love the FDNY rig. I remember the Rosenfeld rig from my youth. He also ran chain drive Sterlings well into the late sixties. And the HU rigs from LA are well known in fire collection circles. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
