The Mount Vernon Board of Estimate and Contract voted Tuesday to give the Mount Vernon Fire Department permission to buy three used firetrucks from Yonkers.

Is Mount Vernon's fleet of Pierce and Ferrara Apparatus getting worn out, that the City of Mount Vernon would seek to suppliment their Fire Department fleet, with used apparatus (albeit from Yonkers, who does a great job in maintaining their fleet of Fire Trucks). One would suspect that the 3 used Yonkers Fire Truck that Mount Vernon is looking to purchase are some of the recently changed over American LaFrance rigs. Replacement parts for ALF rigs are hard to come by and thus the reason why a number of departments in the area (New Rochelle, Yonkers, etc) are quickly replacing their ALF Fleet with other manufactured apparatus.

Didn't Mount Vernon purchase a few used mint condition Long Island rigs a years back?
