    all extrication equipment old plus some new things were placed on new E-170.. More equipment is on order and or pending final approval.

    the pierce x-170 now 171 retains all the mounting brackets so they can be moved in the event 170 goes out of service..

    The Ward lafrance x171 is still at station 2.. it is out of service..

    Many departments responded to New Rochelle on Mutual Aid. Some of them off the top of my head are White Plains, Hartsdale, Mount Vernon, Pelham and Larchmont. Sounds like the storm hit the New Ro and Pelham area hard.

    Note these are separte incidents. new ro's fire got as stated by LTNRFD

    "Structure fire at New Rochelle High School.

    Departments into the city on mutual aid:

    Eastchester E-31

    Larchmont TL-7

    Greenvile E-151 & L-4

    Scarsdale TL-29

    White Plains E-71 & L-34

    2nd Alarm call back of NRFD personnel and manned E-19, L-14, RES-4 and MSU-3. Plus guilds as available for the out of town "

    Pelham had major storm damage from trees down to wires down to flooded basements with up to 8 ft of water in them to smoke from the structure Etc.

    Hartsdale E-170, Fairview E-175, m/a at 1846hrs

    Also FDMV ladder 62 to pelham untill they had to return due to a possible structure fire.

    Later on as Greenville L-4 and White plains E-71 and Ladder 34 cleared NRFD they responded to calls in pelham as well.

    Anyone who has added them as an aftermarket upgrade - where did you have them done, how much did they charge, and what was the turnaround.

    Thanks.

    depends what type of gear you have...

    globe AAA in north white plains does it, they must be sent out could be 2 weeks could be a month it often varries..

    morning pride, check your local dealer but i know Trilex in Passaic, NJ. they are fast, i had a coat with my name added and a few minor repairs and washing back in 2 days.

    sorry darock ment to quote the original post.. no one said it was a slam.. and not defensive, there is just alot of posting of loose information lately. not specific to any one person or department but maybe people should take the time to pm some one or something rather then throw stuff out there.. thats all.

    TL-15 was in quarters with E-170 when 170 cleared the brush fire.. And SFD E-54 till callback personnel arrived 5 minutes after being called and staffed 171 and E-54 was released.

    No volunteers showed up.. And volunteers don’t count as staffing they supplement the career force they are a bonus if we get any on the signal 9.. No offense intended..

    2 units are not available on the scene when they have lines stretched and hydrants hooked..

    All 3 did not show up rite away.. You had 3 people injured in the road way and at least 1 house in danger with limited personnel showing up...

    Greenville was 1st they notified Hartsdale it was in Hartsdale (very close to the HFD-AFD line)... gpd responded as ems and with their tech rescue team.

    Ardsley as far as I am told only showed up with a chief no apparatus.. (That is as I am told if that’s not true some one feel free to pm me)

    i dont view a over turned garbage truck a top a hill threating rolling down that hill into atleast 1 or more structures with a load of fuel, and garbage and injured people your typical every day incident espically not in this area.

    Alot of speculation going on here with little facts... and alot of jumping around hartsdale had no long term mutual aid didn't strip any one of people or apparatus.. help was requested due to no available engine companies as soon as they were back in quarters m/a was released..

    Hartsdale sent E-169 and car 2172,

    E-170 was operating at a brush fire...

    FFD couldnt relocate a engine for what ever reason to hartsdale as HFD did call backs and fully staffed our spare engine...

    so scardsale relocated E-54 to hartsdale station 2 for a short while.

    so with HFD FFD and SFD un able to relocate to GFD next step on the run card is WPFD NRFD or EFD.... thus why so far away...

    less fire flow maybe with regards to traditional knock down time and GPM how ever if it takes 2 min of flow with CAFS to knock down a fire the standard taught is to continue to flow the CAFS for an additional 2 minutes ( for example it takes 4 min to knock down u must continue to flow an additional 4 min for a total of 8...

    so maybe the total gpm is now alot closer to that of traditional water we can operate a line in a room and contents job and have it in a short flow time and then can mop up accordingly, there is no need to blanket or smother....

    guess some one would have to get some flow meters out and count the total gpm of both methods...

    I thought I heard Eastchester operating there as well?

    eastchester hartsdale scarsdale and possible others were taking a hazmatt tech refresher about 3 blocks away at crossway fire house.

    paratech or Air shore

    I like either better then the rescue jacks or R 42 jacks. These seem only for vehicle and truck or to build a tripod, I didn’t like them personally the times I used them.

    I think it’s much better to learn 1 system and have attachments for multiple scenarios and thus have multiple uses rather then say R 42 for cars and carrying air shore or paratech for trench calls, if u carry 2 systems guys need to learn both why not simplify and have one that does all and thus saves space as well.

    I feel with all the attachments that paratech and air shore offer that you need to only learn one system and they can be used on cars, trucks, trenches, building collapse and even to build a tripod.
