Very nice old truck; hope that they can find room for it in the station before it's too late.

Typo no doubt. I'm sure you mean 1948, not 1978.

Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Ditto; I'm going to miss my daily Mack fire truck fix.

OBTW; Typo on the Scenic Brook pic. B85F, not B86F. After all these I understand why you would be tired and miss a couple of tiny things. Thanks again!

Thanks, guys, I'm glad you enjoyed them.  (I fixed the "B-86" typo).  I was out today shooting apparatus, but didn't run across any Macks.  They are still out there and I am sure I'll add more in time.  That Jasper Aerialscope is one I just photographed in April.

46 years old and still in front line service! That would be a poster child for Mack (and Baker) if they still built fire apparatus.

Dave:

Thanks for all the photos, they show the wide array of apparatus that Mack built over the years. There are still a few Macks in service in smaller departments in northern New England. 

After years of departments moving away from Mack for tanker chassis, going to IHC, Kenworth, etc., a few new tankers have been built on Mack "Granite" chassis:

Windham, NH - 2016 Granite/Rosenbauer, 1500/3000

Rochester, NH - 2016 Granite/Toyne, 1500/3000

Killington, VT - 2016 Granite/KME, ?/3000

It's a start!!
