Heres another...

Someone please explain...

How do you think the durability will be? DO you think it will hold up well enough to be used in emergency service?

An other interesting thing that a department near me does for their ex- chiefs, is that they take their gold leaf shields from when they were a chief and put them on their regular black helmets once their reign has ended.

Relevance = 0.

Being that your department does 200 calls a year and your not even from the metro area, your relevance seems to be 0...

Can you believe it?

I know the Governors ISland station closed a year or 2 ago. Does anybody know whats happened over there since? Has it reopened or what? Thanks!

Just wanted to have you all check out my website www.licareerfd.webs.com . ON Long Island its mostly vollie, I just wanted to make something about out paid hereos. Not an anti volley website, so no hate! Its a work in progress, more departments to be added shortly. Tell me what you think!

isn't collapse resuce 3 a spartan?

Collapse Rescue 3 and 5 are both Spartans. Excellent looking rigs.

Alot of interesting rigs in FDNY's history.. Im still searching through the companies and Ill post more interesting things if I find them.

Engine Comapny 283 - Seagrave with some Interesting Vector Lightbars and Rear LED's and an old Ferrara Pumper

Another if not the same E-ONE with Engine Company 290

The Same E-0NE with Engine Company 8

2004 Ferrara Engine Comany 26

An ALF Rear Mount Platform Truck with Ladder Comapny 14

Ferrara Pumper with Engine Company 54

Rented Collpase Rescue Truck?

Engine Company 258 Ferrara

My Favorite FDNY Truck, Kenworth/Pierce HazMat Support Truck

Engine 283 lightbars- either a test by the FD or changed by the guys

Engine 290- Same engine, im pretty sure

Engine 8- same as above

Engine 26, 54, 258- high pressure rigs

Kensworth Haz- Mat- donated after 9/11, seems to have worked out good for the department

The ALF did not make it in Hells Kitchen. I heard there were problems with the rig so they requested another truck. They got a Seagrave and the ALF was sent to the FDNY Station on Govenors Island. As for the others, there are currently no Spartan apparatus in the FDNY fleet and the only E-Ones are Rescue 2,3,4 and 5. Please correct me I if am wrong.

Here's the fate of these rigs;

The Spartan Arielscope is still in service at Truck 53 on City Island, the company is in danger of closing btw.

The ALF is in service on Governors Island, although budget cuts ended the station there, it is occasionally staffed.

The E-One, no clue what happened to it. Just a demo, also saw service at Engine 8 in midtown.

They are staffed 24/7 by 2 people. A firefighter and Lt. I think.

My name is Dan, I run the site www.longislandfd.net , I pretty much am trying to get as much info, pictures etc. from Suffolk & Nassau County, NY. If anybody would like to submit photos (I will credit you!) email me at babhits16@yahoo.com .
