This is MR8706 and was one of 6 Mack/Saulsbury ordered from around 1986.This apparatus is the 6th recieved from that order and become High-Rise Unit 2.These apparatus were also used by the Mask Service Unit.
This apparatus(Type)is of the same design as the 2002 purchased which I thought this was.It was totally my mistake by not reading and taking note of the lettering/number on the front bumper which shows clearly the year this apparatus was actually ordered,that being 1987.
