Phoenix Fire Department history

This from Mike Summa:

Hello,

This is Phoenix Fire Department Engine 1703.  A very plain 1968 Mack CF600.  It’s a 1000/500 pumper.  Hope that you enjoy,

Mike S.

  The Mack CF had become standard for most of the New York City Fire Department engine companies. Chicago only had one such engine which was also the only one that had a fixed deck gun on it. It was a 1971 assigned to Engine 35. Chicago didn’t begin retrofitting it’s engines with deck guns until around 1982.

  Very nice. The MACK CF had a very long and healthy run. Couldn’t go to far without finding one back then.

  Nice picture. I’d like to see that Posen rig to the left of the picture, looks like the old 2803/333

    That’s the one, Mark.

      Check out Bill Frederich’s link on this page. Go to Metropolitan Chicago, Cook County South, Posen. Has both Macks, with the logo on the doors.
