Fire Engines Photos

Good to see this big Mack still going.

And that has to be one of the 'loudest' front bumpers going....let's see; the 2 air-horns, the 2 loud-speakers for electronic syren, and, of course, Pav's 'growler' - the 'Federal Q' syren. Needed for the New York traffic......

And, must not forget the Mack Bull-Dog mascot, firmly in place, on his little rail - was that an "after-market" item, I wonder ?

Great front-end photo.

Pat I think the addition of the Mack 'Bulldog' signifies that the unit is powered by a Mack engine , as supposed to say a Detroit diesel or Cummings , Mack would fit what ever the customer wanted but the Mack engine was a good motor and most Fire Depts stuck with the 'MaxiDyne' engine which was Mack's own make.

I thought a MACK engine was signified by the addition of a gold bulldog?

IIRC, the gold bulldog signified a Mack engine. All other engines were indicated by a silver bulldog.

Agree thats what I was informed as well but if this Mack is ex NYFD then I was under the impression that NY stuck with Mack's own motor ....perhaps not maybe they went with Detroit Diesel for this batch of Macks .
