This from Steve Redick:
Here’s a neat little treat for Christmas day. The original Snorkel, after years of hard use fell into disrepair and was almost lost. Figgie International bought it and spent a fortune restoring it. The photos were taken in of July 1988 at Engine 1’s house, the original place (water tower 4 as it was originally known) went in service. I was lucky enough to attend the grand unveiling and got these now classic images. If you look closely the boom says Snorkel 1 but the doors say Snorkel Squad 3. My dad was captain of SS3 and rode this very rig. Enjoy the history and appreciate the effort they put into saving this one of a kind rig.
