This is one of the Macks Westwego was using back in the mid-80's. Anyone have any information on this truck that was assigned to the station just over the railroad tracks?

Engine 918 is a 1996 E-One. Westwego's pumpers all have the controls mounted in the middle of the engine.

The Mack back in the 80's that was Engine 918. |

Another E-One, Engine 928 is a 1987 model and very similar to the other pumpers in the department.

This is one of the longest tele-squrts I have seen. I did not know there was a 75' model as this 1976 Mack CF is. It is up for sale from what I am told. |
|
One of Westwego's newest engines is Engine 947, a 2002 E-One with a 75' ladder. It, along with old Engine 947 the Mack tele-squrt, are housed at the station on Louisiana Ave. |
|
Engine 958 is a 1999 E-One rescue/pumper. At present is is housed at the small station across the tracks in the downtown area. |

Coming soon is a shot of Westwego's antique 1926 Chevrolet fire truck. |
