MacBoston 18 Truck - Membership owned - MacBoston Truck Boosters, Inc.

MacBoston 18 Truck was incorporated April 4th, 1997 to provide a rolling memorial for firefighters who have paid the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. The original memorial was a 1976 Seagrave 100' ladder tiller truck that previously served the City of Boston. Chief Kevin Shephard of Greenwich New York had a dream and made it a reality by inspiring 26 individuals to purchase the truck. The membership includes a group of firefighters both paid and volunteer and the families of our fallen heroes.

The original concept of the MacBoston 18 Truck was inspired by the Line of Duty death of Firefighter Paul MacMurray from Hudson Falls, New York. "Mac" is from MacMurray, Boston from where the truck originally served, and 18 was Paul's badge number. In addition we memorialized Brian Myers Sr. from Schuylerville, New York and Chief Thomas M. McCormack of Watervliet, New York. Most recently, the MacBoston 18 Truck was dedicated to the memory of all firefighters who have died in the line of duty or as a result of a line of duty accident.
