Popular Post WTF? Posted August 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hello all. I thought y'all might find this company patch cool. I joined the AFD in 1989. My first firehouse was #19. The engine was a 1978 Mack known as the Champagne Bulldog, as it was christened with a bottle of champagne when it went in service. Iirc, it was the final Mack in service at the AFD when it was retired. I'll see if I can find some pics of it. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63566-1978-mack-engine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF? Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 That's her. Fought a few good fires off the back of that Mack. The first shift I ever drove after I got "passed up" (certified to drive) we caught an apartment fire. Beat DeKalb County into their first alarm territory.

One of the best feelings in the world... when you smoke someone else into their own first due box. One of the worst feelings is when someone smokes you into your own. Been on both sides of that experience many times.
