TRUCK
SPECIFICATIONS
The 1979 Mack model CF 1000 gpm Pumper, with FDNY
registration number MP7958, was assigned to Engine
Company 33 on July 18, 1980 replacing a 1970 Mack CF.
While at Engine Company 33, it had a few unusual
graphics added, which made it different in appearance
from the other FDNY Macks of that year.
HISTORY & INTEREST
Engine Company 33 was organized on November 1, 1865 in
the former quarters of Niagara Engine 4 of the old
volunteer department, at 220 Mercer Street, Manhattan.
On December 27, 1882, they moved to 15 Great Jones
Street and later to a much larger new firehouse at 42
Great Jones Street on January 1, 1899. They are still
located in this lower Manhattan two door firehouse,
along with Ladder Company 9 and Purple K Unit 33, a
special apparatus manned by Engine Company 33 when
called.
