Code 3 Classics Yellow FDNY Mack CF Pumper 58 Fire Truck No. 12355-0058 NEW

The new York city fire department placed its first Mack motorized fire apparatus in service in 1912 with a large order for various types of hose wagons. In the years that followed, many more Mack trucks would follow including pumpers, hose wagons, aerial ladder trucks, city service ladder trucks, tower ladders, rescues, wreckers, fuel trucks, water tower tractor, searchlight, foam tender, hazardous materials units, mask service unit, field communications unit, aerial and special unit tractors and, of course the super pumper, super pumper tender and satellites.

FDNY was, by far, the largest user of Mack CF trucks in the country. The first of the now classic CF model entered service in 1968 with an order of twenty 1,000 gpm pumpers, the only ones to sport the unusual 'covered wagon style of rounded herculite hose bed cover, other CF pumper deliveries followed with thirty-five in 1969 and eighty in 1970. The ones for those three years had two door cabs. Two of the 1970 models were delivered with 54-foot articulated squrt booms. One of these was retrofitted a few years later with a 50-foot telescoping tele-squrt boom.

The next orders of CF pumpers were all delivered with four door cabs. These totaled forty in 1971, forty-six in 1972, thirty-one in 1975, forty in 1978, eighty in 1979, ten in 1981, and six in 1983. The ten 1981 models were originally painted lime yellow, however three of these were later repainted in the now standard white over red scheme, all of these had 1,000 gpm pumps, except for six of the 1979 model, which had the larger 2,000 gpm pump, the first of this size in FDNY service the six 1983 models were delivered with special high-pressure 1,000 gpm pumps and all assigned to engine companies in midtown and downtown Manhattan due to the many high-rise buildings. These 1983's were the last FDNY pumpers to be painted entirely red and also the last to be 'all Mack' with the chassis and bodies from the same company.
