I wish they'd come down my street and give our neighbour who's always complaining about the noise something to shout about lol maybe do 50 laps around her home 🤣🤣 that's a great lineup and all are awesome fire engines with the odd smokey thrown in too.👍
I just recieve 2 of the flood lights that were my grandfathers. He passed away and my dad found them in all his old stuff. He was the mechanic for st. catherine's for 40 years. This Video reminds me of the pictures he had of him around all these old vehicles.
Wow! Quite a collection of vintage fire equipment. There's some beautiful equipment there. Love hearing the old motor-driven sirens. I did my Air National Guard summer camp one year where they still had one of those Oldsmobile high-top ambulances (they had more modern equipment that were their "everyday" machinery), and we had to transfer a patient from the smaller base about 100 miles to a major base where there was a bigger hospital. We loaded him into the Oldsmobile and he went in that. Quite a smooth ride. That Olds had the big 455 cid V8, so it would get up and scoot. We had to go to the motor pool and top off the tank so we could get back home! That Olds certainly wasn't economical in any sense of the word! I'd venture about 10 mpg, if that.
You should be amazed and proud way to go your service is deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be proud ! Joe
Very true. My step grandfather was a firefighter in South Tucson, Arizona. He retired in 1982 and passed away in 1986. This video brought back a lot of memories

Totally awesome seeing the fire trucks from yesteryear. I remember some of them as a kid when my dad was a volunteer firefighter. Back in the day when they hung on the back of the fire trucks

This brought back a lot of memories... I started out as an EMT in those high top Cadillac and Oldsmobile ambulances. And my volunteer fire department had two of those American LaFrance engines
I was a volunteer in central Michigan in the late 70's, early 80"s. Most of our trucks were REO's. The ladder was a Warner Swasey, and engine 3 was an old International. The REO plant was local, one of our members worked there, and WS also had a plant in our city. Most everything after that have been Spartan, (also local), I believe. I left the area in 1990.
I like how a couple modern fire trucks are thrown in the parade for classics. Nice a fire truck with with a Canadian maple leaf and an o.p.p in an American parade
Very, very, nice collection of moveable, antiques👍👏!!!! Every year, our seashore city sponsors, a state, Fireman's convention. Our four fire departments, all have some kind of antique, fire apparatus. The amount congregated here, is astounding. Love the, maybe unintended image @6:27. Where the newest piece (2014-ish?), is pulling the oldest piece (1825-ish?).
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Cesar Idris i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Love to see all these old rigs still rolling, especially some of those tillers. Had to do a double take at 1:40. The white Dodge is very similar to our white Chevy except ours is a 4 seater and doesn't have the yellow stripe down the side. The yellow GMC behind it is identical to ours except in a little nicer shape.
I would love to go to a parade to see all the fire engines your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks job well done you should be proud love and appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
8:24 that shity Dodge couldn't hold a candle to those fire trucks you could have a hundred of those breakdown but still have the same single fire truck
