What's the Spartan part?

I heard someone call it a spartan, I just assumed that it was a spartan/rosenbauer.

on the way back from an antique show my friend wanted shots together.

also Field comm battalion may ride in the Field comm 

Odyssey Automotive Specialty, a popular longtime high end emergency and government vehicle conversion company based in Wharton, NJ, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

At one time, they produced the (smaller) NYPD REP ESU trucks, and more recently the first of the FDNY GMC Sierra Battalion Chief cars.

They were bought out last year by another company. Don't know how this will affect vehicles that are currently in process.

I know fdny ordred 4 new fire Marshall units from them.

Its a GMC never got the year

I'm sure there a million of these running around but was surprised when i saw it. Thought they are pretty cool looking. There is also a Autocar chassis in Yonkers I,m going to try and photograph one day.

Now I know what a Foam Pumper Engine is but exactly what is a "Foam Tower Ladder"?

From what he heard the tower ladder would have a nozzle attachment that would deliver foam, also im gonna assume that it will be able to deliver water too since he said its going to ladder 4 and first due to the airport.

From a Jersey Buff Newark through a Homeland Security fund is getting a foam engine and a foam tower ladder

Seeing the picture of the spare I was like huh, I was there that day haha.

at the photo shoot??

From what I heard it had to do with either the suspensions or breaks. Didn't hear it from umdnj guys just from a few buffs in the area.

They have an HME rescue that's a spare. Pretty rough shape too, lol.

Here is the Hme, I hear the alf isnt suitable for the road when there is snow on the ground so the hme still gets used alot

and the Hazmat rescue beign built should be for the hazmat engines.

I had read that newark was putting out bids for 4 engines and 3 ladders, but the new mayor rescinded that and is looking to close companies instead.

Anybody know why the four door crew cab versus their normal two door two seat cabs

It was a holdover from Ray kelly time,he wants to be able to carry more men if need be, due to the Boston Marathon Bombing

2014 E-One Quad Cab. Hearing Truck 4 and 6 are getting one too.

Cassano didn't do too much by the rank and file......he won't be missed. We all know the commish has to follow the bidding of City Hall, but Cassano sold his soul.

That said.......the devil you know......

Word on the street is Mylan Denerstien is the #1 contender. She's currently with the Cuomo administration and served as Deputy Commisioner for Legal Affairs under Commisionser Scopetta. She was rumored to be the runner-up to Cassano when he was appointed by Bloomberg.

Who is this woman?? between Bloomberg and now Diblasio possibly appointing her as commissioner. Wasnt there public outcry when the rumor was that she was coming in as commisoner which forced bloomberg to pick cassano.

Thanks Eli that looks pretty awesome. I wonder want it says in the lettering something operations??

Oh man want to see the mab where is the pic??

Very tight to get in and out of their quarters. They also recently received a Freightliner/LDV mobile command center that is much larger. I don't know where it is kept.

Wait bomb squad got a mobile command center too???

Oh by the way it has a lift gate in the back

I had heard its a rail cart carrier, but also a soc logistics rig.

60 control just told tankers 2,3,4 and car 24?? that they weren't needed anymore.

Backside.

Posted this on a few sites already. Rig is a mystery and would like to share it with this site. So far alot of us are leaning toward its a mta vehicle. The trailer part is definitely Rescue 3's old collapse unit
