Few departments could claim to be more loyal users of Mack Fire Trucks
than the Fire Department of New York City.
The "FDNY" and "Mack" had a long relationship.
New York purchased some of the first Mack fire trucks in the 1920s
and operated various Mack fleets of apparatus routinely for decades.

FDNY "Satellite 1" was a Mack CF that operated as part of the Mack
"Super Pumper System." It was equipped with a large volume deluge
gun, a foam supply and large diameter hose.

Mack Fire Trucks
Possibly America's most famous manufacturer of fire apparatus,
Mack Trucks of Allentown, Pennsylvania began building fire trucks around 1911.
Over the years, these beautiful fire engines, bearing the trademark "Bull Dog",
proved to be as tough and reliable as the saying "Built like a Mack Truck" indicates.
Thousands of these classic apparatus served over the years.
Mack stopped making custom apparatus in 1990 to the dismay of Mack fans.
This is a tribute to some of the Macks I have admired had the pleasure of photographing.

Mack was indeed the middle name of the FDNY for many years
