I grew up in Center Moriches and graduated from CMHS many years ago. I lived on Railroad Ave and myself and many other kids would frequently respond to the fire house when the siren blew. I became acquainted with many fireman and became familiar with the appratus. I recall Engine's 3 and 1 both being Dodges. E-3 a 1936 and E-1 a 1939? they were referred to as the little Dodge and the big Dodge. Engine 2 was the newest a 1946 Ward LaFrance. All equipment was then housed in the old fire house closest to Clinton St. I also remember being allowed on occasion to watch one of the few TV'S in town, upstairs in the fire hall. It had a very small screen with a magnifing glass. Many good memories. Good site.

VERY nicely done... Been checking this website for years waiting for updates As a child growing up with a father who was a member the archives and historical information brings back many memories. Although unfortunately I can remember when some of the now retired apparatus was brand new
Great Site I may have some old pictures of your old apparatus.
