A truly vintage rig: I believe this to be a 1927 American LaFrance engine on the apron at Station 1 on Washington Avenue. To the left is the 1948 ALF engine that appeared in Part 1, painted white.

Another view of Engine 1 on the street at Civic Square


Engine 4 at Civic Square

And four of the ever popular “Flying Nun” Engine 3:

   

Engine 2 at Station 2

And at a job; Truck 1, the Snorkel is just to the right

This picture follows the one above—you can just make out the tailboard of Engine 2 on the left

Another job shot, this one of Engine 3. Note the FF on the side step and the Seagrave ladder from the Newark Fire Department to the right rear.

Two nice shots of Truck 2 at Station 4

A 1969 CF 600, once either the Squad or Engine 2 now renumbered as Engine 5

This concludes Part 4, Part 5 will feature more department shots as well as a kitbash model of the IFD Mack C Squad.
