    your pictures blurred because the camera fogged. when you shoot down south in the humidity you need to take the camera out of the air conditioning well in advance of going out shooting. the same thing happened to me twice, once in Ocean City, once in James City, VA. I went right from the hotel to outside in the heat/humidity, and everything fogged up.

    and to scrap it would be a shame, especially since they now can do one on a new single axle chassis. Even if Mount Vernon doesnt use it, someone else would.

    As of this date: Tower Ladder 1 - Seagrave Tower Ladder in service running out of Staion #3 on 3rd street.

    Ladder 2- Straight Stick Seagrave in service out of Headquarters on E. Lincoln ave.(originallyFDMV Trk#2)

    Ladder 3- E-One - Bucket running out of Sta 2 on South Fulton Ave.

    The straight stick from Woodcliff lake will be a spare.

    The Former West Harrison Mack Tower Ladder is out of Service, not sure what the plans are for that Truck, maybe a trip to Brookfield for scrap![img]http://www.emtbravo.net/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

    ummm, its not a Former FDNY rig. for one, its a 4 door conversion kit on it, not a factory 4 door rig, like FDNY, East Meadow and Westbury(that one is owned by a prvate owner in PA). it might have been done by Ranger, its got those "crooked" paddle handles like they used to install. second, its got a horizontal pump handles, indicative of a hale pump? they have not been on an FDNY rig since I believe 1965. FDNY used pullout handles on their CF's. there are about 6 other factory installed things from that pic which show its not from FDNY

    if its got the original horn button, it will tell you where it came from. if you get the serial number from the drivers door plate or the pump panel I will tell you where it came from.

    E253, E225 and E155 also have them already. E151, E206, E44, E266, E257, E152, E301, E326, E43, E53, E63 & E8's new rigs are all in the area. I have seen most of these being pump tested at Local 825 off the turnpike either driving by there, or while I was at classes there.

    since a pic has been posted, I dont feel like I'm letting the cat out of the bag. we stopped in on Sunday after visiting with Briarcliff Manor. the Brothers were nice enough to come back to the firehouse, even though they were driver training, and stopped for a couple of quick pics. It is a really nice rig, and we hope to get the "finish" shots as soon as the rig is completed.

    if thats the case then you shouldnt be posting them here either, since you didnt take the vast majority(probably every apparatus photo anyway) of pictures that you are posting on these forums. didya?

    Most are Kelters or Calderones, et al.....

    and I know you werent there when the 84CF a few pics above was shot, since I pulled it out for them...its on the apron of my house.
