    Actually it is a M1078..   the 2.5 ton variant.    If it had a 2nd rear axle, it would be a 5 ton, the M1083.

    This is brought up EVERY parade season.  The answers never change, and neither does the inadequate level of response.

    .The response of the FDNY small boat to Rye illustrates what some think is one of the great weaknesses in Westchester fire protection is along the Sound Shore where fire fighting capabilities are shaky to .non existent. From the Bronx line to Connecticut there are billions of dollars of boats, marine facilities and shore front properties yet there is little meaningful  fire protection.

    A MUST-have for FDNY fans! Anything and everything you need to know about the department!

    nice to see - sick and tired of Big Pumpers and High Hose Beds....

    Agreed on the hose bed...I'm always baffled by some of the high hose beds I see.  We've had many changes in cab and manufacturer in the FDNY, but the hose bed has remained largely unchanged.  Additionally, roll-ups and fittings are still easily accesible.  
     
    Looks like a nice, purpose-built rig.  Painted, steel bumpers with 45* corners (an FDNY inovation, I'm told...)

    Regional approach, the only real answer

    I think the writing is on the wall. Towns are learning that the volunteer dept. are not there anymore. Gone are the days of 300 active members and waiting lists. Little to no turn out at calls. False claims of "active" members when the 2% money comes. I'm all for Volunteerism and for helping out but westchester is not built for it anymore. As is said, blue collar folks can't make it here anymore. At some point everyone is gonna have to go career or suck it up, put on their big boy pants and consolidate the county. Lord know most guys want that anyway.

    this is a non story - perhaps we should make an amendment that you only can run for President if you are poor.  That way they will be so impressed with White House - have no vacation homes and just stay in the White House for 4 years (maybe 8).  Its life, its the law - I know a ton ton more waste everyday in the federal Gov't going on every single day.

    It would actually be nice to see Ralph Stupple get it, considering the fire district decided to eliminate his position and demote him not too long ago. That would be the stand up thing to do, considering the circumstances.
     
    He is also extremely qualified, after having served as an assistant chief for many many years and serving as a westchester county fire instructor for many years as well.
     
    But hey, what do I know......If you advocate for doing the right thing, you must be the crazy one.

    So to summarize,
     
    the municipalities choose to hire ot vs staffing increases to save money on benefits and these guys made upwards of 300k working overtime shifts at a rate that the municipality agreed on in a contract that they signed
     
    they made money for shifts they worked
     
    what's the problem?
