  11. There were 2 ALF rearmount tower ladders, 1 at TL14 and one at TL163. The Foam Tender Unit is one-of-a-kind...and is one of the least called units in the city. It has 3 1000-gallon foam cells and like all the other foam units is probably in need of replacement. The 1996 E-one was in fact a demo, it was shopped around several busy companies (Engs. 8, 64, 275, 290 off the top of my head) to see how it would hold up. Since the department didn't hop right on the E-one bandwagon my guess is that it didn't very well. The 2001 ALF was a post-9/11 acquisition, and is now on Governor's Island. The Spartan/Aerialscope was a post-9/11 donation from a department in South Carolina and Spartan. It went first to TL105, BOT, and is now at TL53 on City Island. E283's 2002 Ferrara (the "Spirit of Louisiana") was another post-9/11 donation. It served at E283, then BOT, and was returned to Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina (it led the FDNY convoy down there). Kenworth HazMat rig was also a post-9/11 gift. Engs. 26, 54, and 258 are all High-Pressure engines, the first batch ever actually purchased from Ferrara. The Ryder Collapse Rescue trucks (there were 2 or 3 of them) were put into service in 2005 when every Rescue was assigned a Collapse company (previously only Rescue 3 had a collapse unit). The department didn't have the new rigs yet so they rented some box trucks. If I recall the members weren't too happy about this and I think one of them actually got pulled over once (no lights, sirens, or department radio). The last time these were used was as Collapse Rescue 6 very briefly. The funky vector lights on E283 were part of a test prior to purchasing the new engines to see what lightbar setup would be most effective. Engs. 221 and 325 also had "funky" lightbars (both units are now spares)
