  1. port chester rescue 40 1994 pierce heavy rescue, engine 59 1995 pierce engine, engine 60 1990 pierce engine. our tower ladder and two more engine will be 15 years in a few months. all of these rigs are front line. theres been talk about replacement but money is always the concern so Im not gonna get exicted
  2. port chesters ladder went out in 2007-8. I had the pleasure of driving it for years and loved that rig and yes it saw more than its share of fires over the years
  3. there in a garage the mack and ward lafrance
  4. At a loss for words right now and cant explain how i feel. today i lost a brother fireman, a best friend,and bascially a brother my whole life. all the good times and bad, all the fires and extrications we did, and now i lost my partner. went to an extrication this morning and looked for you and needed the help. i know your with me and you will always be in my heart. ill keep our traditions alive for both of us. i love you charlie
  5. To Andy Fox, My buddy, My pal, My mentor. Can still remember riding that first call with you driving, Or you coming in as santa for the kids x-mas party's. You were kind,caring and boy did love Fire Patrol & Rescue Co.1.I will miss seeing you in your old company jacket. You were a great fireman and one of the best ever on the hurst tool. Your dedication will live on through me and the rest of the Rescue Co. Rest easy brother your now at peace.
  6. What a great ending, glad you guys got her back. Its was a shame to see her go but what a joy to see her back. Cant wait to see her this summer. congrats purchase
  7. That Video Is Horrible Not awesome. No Agressive Primary Search, Taken Forever To Get Packed Up, One The worst Hose stretch on Youtube. Maybe If He didnt worry so much about his helmet cam more would have got done.
  8. This doesn't have to be a paid vs volly topic. No doubt a career dept can staff and equip a rescue company that is trained to the gills. They have the time during there shifts for all the training. I'm in port chester in the rescue company and yes we are a volunteer heavy rescue. All of our members are at min FF1, more than half our FF2, several state instructors, haz-mat trained, and every member has AVET. more than half the membership is FAST certified also we push as much training as we can but as you all know in the volunteer world its hard to get some guys to commit. Our biggest problem in our company is lack of equitment. being the only rescue, our tool and equit lists are sometimes not taken well. It's much more simple for them to buy hose and ground ladders and axes etc but when it comes to struts and bags and wet suits, hurst tools, hand tools, FAST tools etc theres a price tag that goes with them and the price vs need starts to come out.
  9. R.I.P.hal you were a great friend to the fire service and to your company Fire Patrol & Rescue Co#1 of the port chester fire dept while you served here.this is a big loss for all fireman across the country but the work you did lives on.
  10. the gmc was eng 58 and when it got tired it went up the hill and became eng 59 and covered the slower half of the village,and a grumman firecat replaced it as 58,which was just recently replaced by the pierce puc thats now in service.
  11. funny was just reading on there site and it says that in 92 When first put into service, Rescue 44 was one of the first rescue trucks in Westchester County to have a mounted set of hydraulic extrication tools powered off of an onboard generator. i know for us in port chester's rescue weve have mounted tools on our heavy rescue for over 40 yrs. i believe alot of depts have had that for a long time. and i agree there are too many so called heavy rescue's in that area. not trying to bash at all just stating the facts just like the sound shore has more tower ladders than needed.depts should really look at whats needed and whats not. the tax payers already hate us. duplication of equitment only makes us look worse
  12. found on ebay 1949 American La France fire engine 700 Series pumper, Body is in ok shape. It has been sitting outside for the past 20 years, It has the large E series V-12 engine, 1000gpm pump and i think a 250 gallon water tank. It does roll on its own, It does need a restoration and the engine needs to be rebuilt. It originally came from White Plains, NY and was in service until the late 1970's. It was then bought and moved to Colorado where it "worked" on a ranch until the late 1980's when it was parked for some reason. I bought it in March of this year with the hopes of fixing it up but due to time and money constraints I am unable to continue this project. I have a bill of sale, there was no title when I purchased the engine. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Local pick up only and you will need a large flat bed. The truck is about 30-35 feet long and 7 ft in height. A non refundable deposit of 500.00 is required within 48hrs of auction close via Paypal, with the remaining amount due upon pick-up. CASH ONLY! Buyer will have 7 days to pick up the truck or the truck will be re-listed. email with any more questions item #200609861286
