Squad 61’s rescue-pumper was the first Seagrave Commander II series apparatus in FDNY. This apparatus was donated to the FDNY by the management and employees of Seagrave Fire Apparatus of Clintonville, Wisconsin. The Seagrave employees sponsored various fund raising events to help defer the cost of this vehicle. The 2003 rescue-pumper, which carries FDNY registration number SP03016, was assigned to Squad Company 61 on December 17, 2003. In a special ceremony at the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall’s Island, it was presented to the Fire Commissioner, the Chief of Department, and the captain, lieutenants and firefighters of Squad 61, by the President of Seagrave.
