Popular Post GA_Dave Posted January 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Welcome to my photo collection of Mack fire apparatus. I have been photographing fire apparatus for about 35 years and have shot about 400 all Mack rigs and about 400 more built on Mack chassis. (Disclaimer: In the early days, my photography skills were somewhat lacking and I was using inferior equipment, a 110 "Pocket" camera, but things improved as time went on.) In time, I will post them all here, so sit back and enjoy the ride!

GA_Dave Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Since I have roughly equal numbers of all Mack rigs as Mack Chassis rigs, I plan to post one from each group daily. For those not familiar with the numbers I include, here is a brief explanation: If you see "1000/300/20F/75' Maxim", that would mean it has a 1000 gallons per minute pump and carries 300 gallons of water and 20 gallons of foam and has a 75' Maxim aerial ladder (Most, but not all Mack aerials used Maxim ladders).Engine 6, Metro FD, Nashville, TN (retired)1987 Mack MC/Ward '79 LTD1500/500/50' Telesqurt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA_Dave Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 was this one of the St. Louis R models that ended up in that part of the country?While it is possible, I highly doubt it. The St. Louis rigs had a tread-plate box below the cab door. The style of fuel tank on the Bellevue rig is more typical of commercial Mack R chassis.
