FDNY RIG Colors why does FDNY Not do the color scheme like this?

[JohnnyGage]

Did the white cab roofs denote a high pressure engine co at one time?

I do not believe so, however the high pressure fittings were white to distinguish them.

But Fdny Deffenetly had all red rigs in the 80s and early 90s

Yes, of course they did, and the decades before too.

^^^^^^Not true, the solid red rig was phased out in mid 80's, they are now red with a white top half cab.

We had a slime green 1981 Mack through the 80's until the city painted it blue and white for Corrections.

Yes, there were 10 Macks and 1 ALF in that color.

I believe that I remember reading years ago that the 2000 gpm pumpers had a white hose bed cover to distinguish them from the regular pumpers.

 

[MT8410]

Last all Red cab Mack TL, MT-8410, L120. MT-8411 was White over Red and was assigned to L33. The final 2 rigs in that order, MT-8412 and MT-8413 went to I believe L138 and L17.

l thought TL 15 got the first white over red cab and white boom, and was the only single rear axle in that scheme. Just going from memory and did not do any searches yet.

l'm sure that some of the the all reds were still running into the 90's .
