What the status of this? Has it been restored? It's an awesome piece to have, not many EMS agencies embrace the past. http://www.putnamvalleyambulance.org/caddy62.htm

A very cool idea, especially for districts with tight roads and driveways..... http://battalion14.blogspot.com/2007/06/ho...-its-worth.html

Looks like Poughkeepsie's new Public Safety facility is almost ready to go: [attachmentid=2857] http://x635photos.com/displayimage.php?pos=-953 What will be housed here? FD, PD, and 911? And what FD apparatus wise? And what will happen to Station 2 across the street?: [attachmentid=2858] http://x635photos.com/displayimage.php?pos=-952

So it's come to this with the prices........ Although it is weird that the woman didn't report it right away, even if she was "shaken up"

Absolutely disgusting! Hope they find these thugs.

I absolutely agree this happens, and it's not right. BUT....the whole low bid sytem needs to be overhauled, because you do get what you pay for. But, the specs being written by dealers needs to end, and utilization of objective "apparatus architects" who can design the best apparatus for the department and make it so a few different manufacturers can bid needs to be a standard practice. Also, fleet standardization is also a consideration.

I'm also looking foward to this new movie. I have loved his previous films, I watched them with an open mind, and they are really pretty enlightening. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I feel he's given a bad rap for no good reason.

Verplank's lives on! I would guess it's a new paint job, since Verplank's is a little more subdued. Los Angeles County FD had snorkles. In fact, if you watch Season Three, Epsidode 2 "The Old Engine", you will see it being used in a 70's style F.A.S.T. operation. Memphis FD (I think) just got a Pierce rescue truck with a brand new Snorklel on it.

Looks like Gowans Knight finished the twin to Engine 1 http://www.gowansknight.com/Poughkeepsiepage2.htm Where is Engine 3 located?

I NEVER listen to FM radio anymore ,mostly since K-Rock 92.3 went to the "Free FM" format and I went to Sirius Octane channel 20. As I predicted, "Free FM" was a massive failure, and I found this exciting news on Wikipedia: New York needs a rock station, and now it's back!

Thanks Reliance1. Here's the text from that Ford CANANADA announcment: Wonder if this is applicable to the US vehicles, with different emissions standards?

Ah. I should have known from the giant blue bird graphic on the roof above the drivers window! Thanks!

June Release. Boston E-One, same as last two just a different company. http://www.fireengines.net/articles/boston30/index.html

The FDNY Ladder 30 photo that appeared on that site was one taken by Joe Pinto. I can't seem to find it. As for the Boston release, another dud repaint. Where's that ALF Tiller that we were promised? The company seems to be doing as little as they can these days.

2007 Seagrave Rescue for Bellmawr Fire Co. in Camden County, NJ. New delivery, and it's enormous! I like it. http://www.phillyfirenews.com/photogallery...ge.php?pos=-395 Click on the image at the above page for the full size version.

Thanks for posting that photo, nice engine. But I thought Mutual was getting the new Engine??? To replace the Mack?

Does anyone have photos of Mount Kisco's new Engine? Didn't even know it was delivered.

From my point of view, especially when you have no help in throwing the ladder, I always overestimate what I need, so I mostly try and use the extension ladder except in very obvious circumstances where the roof ladder will more then suffice in a non-roof application.

Does anyone know where NYPD recieves and outfits their cars and vehicles??? Also, where is fleet maintainence done? I know they have a facility in Queens, and I've passed by it, but it doesn't seem that big. Must be a massive recieving lot.

Looking good! Definetly a unique Seagrave chasis (kinda like Put Valley)! Also, tank shape is cool and unique. Thanks for sharing the photos! Does this replace the Ward Lafrance, and if so, what will be done with that?

Who and where did their fleet stuff then? Also thought it housed their dispatch center?

I've been past the FDNY shops a couple of times (always hoping to find something neat parked outside, but never have), and it looks old and run down. I've seen one photo of the inside of the ladder shop (does anyone know of more photos?). I'd love to see the inside of this facilty one day, it would be a dream if FDNY held an open house one of these days...I know it would be a well attended function. Anyways, my main question. Are the FDNY shops outdated? If so, is there even any consideration to building a new faciilty? Also,besides Randalls Island, does FDNY even have a yard where they keep "dead" and other vehicles?

The Fire Helmet Camera Company is one of EMTBravo's newest sponsors. I never knew of this type of device being marketed to the fire service, but I must say, it's AWESOME! Could be a GREAT learning tool! Check it out-what do you think? http://www.firehelmetcam.net/
