1955 Pirsch - - Engine No. 2
Somers Fire Department File Photo

The 1954 engine working at a fire on 22nd Avenue. The large motor would get hot when pumping for a long length of time, even in cool weather as the bare trees and coat worn by the person near the rear of the engine suggest.
The hoods were raised to keep the motor from overheating.
