Engine 65 was assigned the FDNY's only 1980 ALF of that unusual color. On official FDNY records it was listed as being "lime yellow", however more often referred to as "lime green". It was AP8080, one of eighty 1980 ALF 1000 gpm pumpers, the others all being red. That one was never repainted while still an FDNY apparatus. After being replaced at Engine 65, it served for several years as a training pumper at the Fire Academy. It never went to another FDNY company.
The ten 1981 Mack model CF 1000 gpm pumpers were all also listed on official FDNY records as being "lime yellow", but were normally also called "lime green". They were originally assigned, in this order of MP8101 thru MP8110, to Engines 58, 94, 42, 45, 10, 85, 277, 46, 41 and 236. Three of these were later reassigned to other FDNY engine companies, Engine 10 to Engine 4, Engine 85 to Engine 263, Engine 236 to Engine 73. In 1985, three of the ten were painted with white over red cabs and red bodies. These were Engine 45, Engine 10-later Engine 4 and Engine 46. On June 5, 1995, MP8107, originally Engine 277, was transferred to the NYC Department of Correction (note-not "Corrections") and served at their facility on Rikers Island. It was repainted in their color scheme of white over blue, with an orange stripe separating those two colors for the length of the vehicle.
