We have two Pierce pumper Wagon21 and Engine 21. Wagon 21 is a 2014 Impel it has a Husky 3 foam system, 1500 gpm pump, 1000 gallons of water and 30 gallon foam tank. Engine 21 is a 2004 Inforcer it has a Husky 10 foam system, 1500 gpm rear mount pump, 900 gallons of water and two 20 gallon foam tanks. We use 200 feet 1.75 attack lines with Elkhart SM30 100 psi nozzles. We were using F-500 and recently changed to FireAde class A foam. Our Husky 3 began leaking foam from the foam injector and the system needed to be replaced. The Husky 3 2016 manual has a caution for encapsulating agents that requires the foam injector to be flushed and left dry when not in use. My company has not been able to find our 2014 manual to see if we just overlook the caution statement. We had always left the foam systems flooded and had never had a problem with the Husky 10 system. How are other foam systems being left when not flowing foam?

This is a great thread. I'm not up on my foam operations but after reading this thread and doing some research it's helped a lot! Thanks

 Love the Chief with the bandana around his face for smoke, I presume >Looks like a stagecoach robber

Does it have CO detection built-in or that an option?

The boro is the one cutting the check  & each fire company Specs out the piece they are looking to purchase Have seen a few Dept's spec out same exact pieces before though Example Rutherford with their last  Pumpers purchased 

City of Newark NJ has 3 E one 110ft Metro Sticks on order 

Cliffside Park NJ Ordered a new Ford F 4WD Series Braun  to replace an older unit this is their 4th Braun & Going back to Ford F Series Chassis Their Police & EMS acquired 2 ATV's for use during heavy snow storms

I know there is no mural going on it. I believe he will be doing some of the lettering though. The boro tightened up the budget and non essential items. 

Consolidated Hose Engine 77 is getting a Cyclone IIX with a 1500 GPM Hale QMax Pump, 750 Gallon Tank, 30A Foam. Phenix Hose Engine 76 is getting a Cyclone II with a 2000 GPM Pump, 750 Gallon Tank, and 30 Foam. 

Yup a quick wax and then delivery for both of them. I work for Rescue 1/PL so they been getting them ready the past week or 2.

FL Rescue is going to Wildwood, then will be delivered shortly after. FL E3 is a duplicate of the current E3, with addition of foam tank/pump only. not much else changed...........

As for Wildwood, Rescue 1/NJEV will have both Fort Lee and Fair Lawn Rescue Trucks on display as they are pretty much done. 

Tarrytown has ordered 2 E-One Engines. Not sure which companies they going to.

There was a special operations team here in my area of bergen county that was combined Volunteer & a career dept few years back that responded for confined space & collapse calls  They were well trained & had plenty of resources  I believe the state USAR  Task Force is now called in  now  no idea what happened to this team  We also have The East Bergen Repel team witch  is all volunteer that responds to Repel jobs as well as confined space jobs it's well run & trains constantly I believe Englewood fire (career dept ) has Repel trained members that can respond as well

How old is the current communications center? It seems odd they would build a brand-new backup center and just have it sit there. Is the old center bigger and perhaps this will be just a scaled down center to use in an emergency? $3 million doesn't seem like a lot of money, so my guess is it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a break room, kitchen, showers, or even a spot to pull out bunks. But the idea is a solid idea no matter what the set-up. Many places don't have a solid back up plan.  

 

First off I can honestly say that I would never take that position. But where you said, "challenges to overcome in doing anything new". I believe you shouldn't attempt to do anything new before you fix the problems that you have. It doesn't matter what rig goes out the door, rescue,engine or ladder, if that's not properly staffed with people on it with a certain level of training, what good is that. Thats unacceptable and dangerous. I feel each department should look at themselves and admit there's a problem. Is going paid or even a combo department the answer I don't know. I'm just saying you need to crawl before you walk. Try not to take on more than you can handle.
