Riverdale Fire Department history (more)

This from Wayne Stuart:

In addition to Mike Summa’s photo of the Riverdale Fire Departments FWD engine they also ran this 1965 FWD/Pierce 85′ Snorkel. If you look closely at Mikes photo you can see the boom of this rig inside the station.

  I thought the 85′ snorkel had dual rear axles. I thought 75′ was the max for the single axle trucks?

  Riverdale also had a FWD/Pierce heavy rescue. Anyone have pics to share?

  You can’t beat the look of SNORKEL.
  FWD had the advantage or being partnered with SEAGRAVE just about forever.
