Popular Post kmeitz Posted September 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2013 While recently vacationing in Aruba, I had the opportunity to photograph a few of the many many Mack's that are operating on the island. Of the trucks that I saw on a daily basis, I would say that 75% of them were Mack's. 5 Quote Keith http://www.flickr.com/photos/40978025@N04/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32803-macks-in-aruba/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Aruba Fire Department (Brandweer Aruba) used to have three or four "MS" /E-One pumpers, an "MS" model rescue, and an "MC"/E-One pumper tanker. When I was there I only saw the rescue truck at the airport station. I stopped by the other two stations, Tanque Flippi and San Nicolas, but neither of them had any Macks. Couldn't get anywhere near the airport station. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32803-macks-in-aruba/#findComment-206626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmeitz Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I saw the Mack pumper at the airport, but couldn't get a photo. I was very surprised of the good condition of the trucks running on the island. I saw the yellow dump truck several times a day almost every day go by our resort. Also saw several new Granites with roll off water tanks and dumpsters.
