TheNewLadder32

Im just wondering is it cheaper for them to order the bodies as well because China has been ordering the custom chassis from Pierce (i.e. pumpers and rescues).... So wonder why now they want to mount it on chassis made by FAW also as a side note i thought they didnt like trucks manufactuered their?

I get what their trying to do here but wouldn't it be easier to just get a truck like the Pierce water towers which are 55-61' FT or something like the E-one teleboom which is 50' FT ? Just my opinion then you wouldn't worry about your tail slap and would still get your regular engine configuration.

One of two new marked police interceptors for White Plains we have a highway patrol one with ghost lettering as well as a new police interceptor suv with ghost lettering as well. I do not know how many of these White Plains is getting but we have three for right now.

Thats exactly what are Ladder 34 looks like but with a ford chassis instead.

Ladder is a little longer thren the actual chassis itself.

Thanks ill check it out but does any one know if there were any other fords from that year like that ?

All I know is Tower Ladder 6 in 2015 and I think 65 & 67 will be getting replaced in 2014 as he said two new engines just before the Tower Ladder.

Ladder 33 has been the spare ladder in White Plains for as long as I can remember as im not that old so it operated until White Plains bought the Tower Ladder 6 they have now then it went strictly to spare. They were not assigned at the same time period as the one you see pictured above became a spare in 2009 when the new Ladder 32 came in replacing that truck which was 32. Also it is a Ford cab.

Talked to the chief about the new ladder way behind schedule parts were delayed and delivery is delayed in advance says truck wont be here till November. Also told me about the future trucks that will be bought in the next 3 years.

You are right thats why the engines are the same as the garbage trucks.

Yes that is Station 2 it was in as a spare and I know there are many commercial aerials but I was wondering have there been any other tandem axle quint/ non-quint 105' ft aerials like this.

Hey I was just wondering has there ever been another ladder exactly like this one from White Plains as it is rare and very different. And I know it was done by the city but just wondering if there is another truck close or just like it.

Update New Ladder 32 is coming begin to mid August it is delayed a little as I said before.

Went by the station and talked to the guys Engines 65 & 70 were at drill school at the time of the call so they couldnt make it. And Engine 74 is North White Plains not White Plains.

Tower Ladder 6 will stay until White Plains orders a new Tower Ladder in another maybe 3-5 years.

That is actually not the norm for White Plains maybe they had 18 ff's at the scene but we should have about 27-30 ff's in service providing we have 3 ff's per rig and have 9 pieces of apparatus in service. Maybe the IA was a little off because I dont think you need three aerials at a house fire such as this one and having put spare rigs in service never heard that before so idk bout it as I wasnt there nor did I hear when the call came out. And Actually tommyguy White Plains has had 2 different American Lafrances in service in 50 years Tower Ladder 6 is a Metropolitan/ American Lafrance and the old Engine 70 now 71 is a Freightliner/ American Lafrance.

It indeed was a great stop by WPFD as only west side of the house i think suffered all the damage as the east was untouched so they got there fast and made a great stop. White Plains also wasnt understaffed if you see the IA they had all three ladder companies there three engines and a rescue they even put spares into service as the manpower either went up or was a last second decision. And lol at (x4093k) that isnt the newest Ladder 32 it is the 2009 one i think are ladder will probably be delayed just like this one was as it is coming from American Lafrance from what im hearing so we might have to sit tight for a while and keep using our modo use what you got and try to go with less.

http://www.sntrl.com/car-life/lamborghini-mercy-rapid-response-unit/ Although this was made as a tribute would you say this is a waste of money because do they really use it as it is lettered Rapid Response. So wouldnt that mean if they do use it they would have to man it, maintain it, and how much would it really be able to carry besides a med pack because it definatly isnt equipped with a pump of any other fire fighting rescue tools.

White Plains is having there's this Saturday May 19th 1-4pm at Headquartes on 219 Mamaroneck Avenue.

People are wondering didnt they pay there taxes, of course you did you really paid the politicians its a scam as said before. Its kind of like the old days they tell you one thing you believe your getting what you pay for but in return its nothing kind of like a Bernie Madoff taking peoples hard earned money and using it for there personal needs. When what we really need if Fire and Police and then theres the certain people who blame us for using tax dollars for worthless things like training, apparatus, equipment, and much more because supposebly we do nothing but whats expected of us when in return its not true and its actually what we need. Will we ever have truthful politicians or will this world always be a corupt place like the past 100 years.

Interesting I did not know that they were unsafe i did know they cost a buck. I thought they were safe but i guess with all the high draulics itz probably not. And wow I also did not know about the LODD's it caused scary.

Hey just wanted to share this found it on the Spartan ERV website a 138' Foot Articulated Aerial. I guess with new name new products or maybe a work in art for a while? Thoughts ,comments, also would you say it is kind of copying Bronto and Rosenbauer ? Also do you think articulated aerials are big in the U.S. ? http://www.spartanerv.com/product.aspx?id=40206

Hey just had a quick question why doesnt Rescue 3 run out of quarters with Engine 93 an Tower Ladder 45 anymore ? Was Rescue 3 the only Rescue in New York at the time ? Thanks for the replys.

From what I can see non of these apparatuses have license plates.
