A LOOK BACK.

Thank you very much Chief for passing this entire collection of the FDNY onto us, as we all look back
 
I remember a few times in the 80's when a truck went OOS and there where no spares. The company got a pick up truck

Civil Defense Pumper being used as a Spare on a Harlem Sunday morning.... note Wooden Scaling Ladder on top & the Loftus Suction Collector mounted on the running board....all CD Pumpers carried the Collector.... (photo by Paul Thayer provided by RET FF Mike Higham) ... www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=484361310059989&set=gm.2128466823977555&__cft__[0]=AZXCmJXq5oCdeSG7mhwAyejIn3mngdoiCGcF5fJ6Ev_U_OhSVGPJaYxNUzXo7LvKtUJPQvdeQxf7V0eNHp90BW8TLVdiXUf2SnlOi8A8FhYKi1G3sMkap2Ue8LYIs4DMZ2qWNvbJmyQl5RVti2T9UBIZtIEvgm7Y_pDrr_qK3SOVZw-BcAM2XmOpLhwXV8SjVc8&__tn__=EH-R
 
^^^^^^
^^^^^^^ The Loftus Suction Collector1646518627986.pngwas designed by Chief Peter Loftus who was a former COD in the FDNY ( a Relative of Joe & Mike Loftus)....it was primarily a WW2/post WW2 appliance which could be used if there was an attack on US soil that crippled the water mains....as in the name "collector" it collected any available lines w/water no matter how low the pressure was into a Pumper intake as a water source .....the CD pumper's were never used during an actual attack (which never occurred here in the US) but were around for many years & by the '60s became a valuable resource as part of (or maybe a majority of the FDNY spare pool)... the early models of these Rig's themselves had no muffler & were very loud plus Buckeye "exhaust whistle equipped".....many ENG's had these models as there regular Rig aside from the bunch that were designated as CD (Civil Defense) Pumpers.... the CD Pumpers certainly were FDNY workhorses in the late '50s/early'60s.

Ed Tuite was killed while working in R*1 when he fell thru a roof being cut at a job as he stepped on a shaft covering https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193879421/edward-j_-tuite ....it happened on 10-17-70....it was during the Annual FDNY Memorial Service .....( after the six LODDs on 23 St in 1966 the Ceremony had been held at the site on 23 St each year after ).... this was the first year that the Ceremony was held back again at the FDNY Memorial Site at 100 St & Riverside Drive....we were all standing in Ranks as the Ceremony was progressing......all of a sudden one of the Staff started moving thru the Chiefs standing at Attention on the steps ......as he approached each one & whispered something it was clear that something was going on....it was the notification of the incident.....Continued Rest In Peace Brother.....I do not have a recollection of Ed being related to a previous LODD with the same last name ?
