Dutchess County Airport Rig




Antiques

New Hackensack apparatus and a few of the murals and graphics on the rigs

I stopped in very early in the morning yesterday while things were being set-up but was able to capture a few photos of some of the antique apparatus from our area as well as the beautiful grounds and apparatus of the New Hackensack Fire District, this was an event for the public to come out and greet members that are trying to preserve Dutchess County’s firefighting tradition and history as well as enjoying the NHK open house.

911 Memorial, beautifully constructed

Awesome shots Mark!

This was one of three events I attended yesterday in my various travels. Saw some great looking antiques that I'd never seen before...and hope to see again some day. Looking forward to next year.

He did a tremendous amount for Putnam County Fire and EMS. He fought long and hard. I hope that the heavens bring him plenty of joy and that the end of his pain brings some relief to his three sons and his wife. He was a fireman in 45 truck, and retired as a Lt in Ladder 31 which during his time found him being first due truck to the Happy Land fire among many other notable fires and events. All three of his kids followed his footsteps and I am sure are proud of his accomplishments.

Robert McMahon, Former Commissioner Putnam County
Emergency Services
REST IN PEACE!
Some information about Robert McMahon
McMahon served as part-time deputy fire coordinator (July 1990 through January 1997), then as part-time fire coordinator (January 1997 through December 1999) and finally as commissioner of emergency services (January 2000 through August 2012).
McMahon served in the Navy and retired from the Fire Department of New York. He is a registered nurse, a former chief and life member of the Lake Carmel Fire Department, a NYS and FEMA certified training instructor and a member of the board of Putnam Hospital Center.
Under his leadership, the emergency services in Putnam were greatly enhanced and eventually evolved into the Bureau of Emergency Services whose efforts have proven so effective during recent major storms in our area. Through programs McMahon initiated which focused on the advanced training and education of EMS personnel, recruitment and volunteer retention soared. Today, the Center is staffed by highly trained, dedicated and professional deputy emergency services coordinators who act as liaisons to local fire and law enforcement departments as well as to emergency management teams and various county agencies.
It was during McMahon’s tenure as commissioner of emergency services that the Putnam County Fire Training Center was expanded to include a three-story multi-purpose burn building training simulator. The Training and Operations Center was constructed allowing Putnam’s 911 Communications Center and the All Hazards Emergency Operations Center to be housed in a single state-of-the-art location.
Working with the county executive’s office as well as the legislature, the office for aging, the sheriff’s department and the health department, McMahon saw to the opening of warming centers in the winter and cooling centers in the summer for the elderly, the ill or those without electricity due to severe weather. Plans for county-wide shelters offering overnight facilities were also developed and generators were installed in many public buildings with federal grant money sought under McMahon’s direction

Now if we can just get if here and in service, the rig couldn't get into the Suffolk County training center for the NFPA third party pump test until Wednesday afternoon so we shall take delivery Thursday morning now instead of Wednesday afternoon/evening, thanks Chris, spent way to many hours on this project but the Fire District is very pleased with how this rig and our BRAT turned out and the great working relationship we've developed with the Firematic BRAT shop we may send our light rescue down for some upgrading of the lights to LED's and some reworking of the compartments, it's a 2003 Ford F-550 Rescue One and pictured below, first photo credit to Ed Harvey and Fire Service Photography.


Rear hydraulic tool area, this is an older photo as we just upgraded the Amkus large cutter and spreader and also added the 1/4 quick connects on all the tools.

And the 2009 Firematic BRAT

Sent from the shop, out flowing some water today, I must say it is one nice looking Engine now that you can actually see the entire rig at once, they have a few things to finish up, if everything goes as planned, pump test is Tuesday and delivery will be Wednesday late morning, hopefully that is. The programming issue at International was a bad connection which was finally found. I am liking the fact that we moved the booster tank side level gauges to the B post instead of the C post area, it was going to be obstructed from the side rear, in the first photo you can see it at 3/4. There are also smaller slave foam and water gauges in the cab as the Engine can pump and roll and flow both foam and water in doing so, another advantage of the front mounted pump.

RIP.
