FDNY Mack L-Model Apparatus

Description

From Fire Apparatus Journal Publications comes an in-depth look at the Mack L-Model apparatus that served the New York City Fire Department.

As the second book in a series dedicated to the manufacturers of FDNY apparatus, this publication takes a closer look at the many Mack L-Model rigs that played an important role in the department’s history. From hose wagons and open- and closed-cab pumpers to rescue trucks, this book documents the variety of Mack apparatus operated throughout New York City.

Many of these vehicles went on to serve in different roles after being converted, including squad units, mobile power supply units, foam apparatus, and Superpumper Satellites. These conversions are also documented, providing a fascinating look at how FDNY adapted its apparatus to meet changing operational needs.

Featuring registration numbers, unit assignments, and apparatus rosters, this book offers valuable historical information alongside an extensive collection of photographs.
