Photo from Aug 1965 of the Super Pumper Tender operating at a Boro Call in a Lumber Yard at Stewart Ave & Scholes St in BKLYN (108 1st Due from Seigel St).....as the text states the Super Pumper System did not officially go in service until Oct 1965 but was brought to this large Fire.....note the tormentors on the side of the Rig to counteract the powerful stream...also there is a Hose Tag on the supply line at the Rig...... www.ebay.com/itm/Official-FDNY-Photograph-of-a-Super-Pumper-Satellite-Tender-operating-in-Aug-65/264754870747?hash=item3da49eb9db:g:r5IAAOSwnDJe2t3q |
