21 Grand Ave behind the building it's located near Route 46 3pm to 10 pm Yeah I know it's the same day as Franklin Lake's Wetdown  Fog Streams only Lets see if New City shows up again

 
It depends. As far as LAFD and LACoFD goes, for Tillers, they can change them out if they need to, accident replacement, upgrade to a new tractor, etc. However, they generally like to keep the same tractor and trailer together as one unit.
 
As far as the USAR and HazMat trailers, it used to be a Freightliner tractor, and the trailers were interchangeable. The new tractors, for the USAR and HazMat units of LACoFD, I believe are designed to work with that specific customized tractor.  Theoretically, you ou can interchange the tractor if needed,  or use any type of truck that has a 5th wheel to pull it technically. 

Seth - just curious - are the tiller drawn apparatus interchangeable 0 ie: can they pull a tractor and replace it with a spare - keeping the unit in service while a tractor is in the shop?  Also - there are some obvious differences in the Tractor for the TDA and for the USAR - would they be otherwise interchangeable other than the cabinetry?

Los Angeles County FD Reserve Engine 502
1991 Pierce Arrow

One of LAFD's new Pierce tillers, part of a 10 year contract for 40 of them.
 
Of the seven that have been delivered so far, none have accepted for delivery, and one was put into service for about a day and then returned to the dealer. The trucks are having numerous issues, and quite possibly will be sent back to Pierce in Wisconsin to deal with the issues. The trucks have been sitting at the dealer for several months now.

Next up is LA City FD's Fast Response 20, a 2015 Ram 5500 4x4.  It's a Brush Truck, Paramedic Flycar, and a manpower squad rolled up into one.  It operates during peak times. Read more about this unique unit:  http://www.lafd.org/news/lafd-unveils-innovative-fast-response-vehicles
 

 
 
 
 
 

Route 22 and Route 120 in North Castle this morning about 0715. Caught it on my way to work. Single vehicle hit pole and caught fire. As far as it is known, the driver was able to free himself and was uninjured.        

If the members currently assigned to this firehouse want to be considered "professional" then they must meet those "professional standards". Beginning with a quick response out the door when the alarm comes in. The question is, "will they be able to replace the laid off professional career firefighters who once operated out of that firehouse" ? That means 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
 
 Any one who has ever been inside a burning building knows very well how dangerous it is and how quickly that heat and smoke can build up. As firefighters operating inside those buildings we get to appreciate our protective equipment, and our life saving air pack giving us fresh air. It's tough enough for those guys, BUT for the UNtrained and Unprotected citizens trapped in there, "IT's VERY MUCH WORSE".
 
  THEY CAN NOT SEE
  THEY CAN NOT BREATHE
  THEY BECOME DISORINATED
  THEIR SKIN MAY START TO BURN
 
 Every passing second counts as they try to breathe. For those people there may be no way out. The super heated air that's left starts to burn their lungs as every breath they try to take. They are the one's that will truly decide at that moment who the Professionals really are. The Professionals will make the utmost attempt at getting them out because that's their job and there is NO TIME TO WASTE. This is NOT a Game or some Make Believe Training session. But in a matter of minutes, people could die. Somebodies mother, father, brother, sister, friend. Maybe somebody you know.
 
 At least to me, I consider BOTH Career and Volunteer Firefighters to be Professionals with a very important job to do. But here in Port Chester, it was decided that this job can be completed WITHOUT the use of any career firefighters. Most places these days find it to be quite the OPPOSITE though. Due to todays very busy work schedules and much more training requirements, the volunteer numbers are dwindling and it is necessary to hire MORE Career Firefighters. Not really because they want to, but because they HAVE TO. It is just more and more difficult these days to count on the skills of the required number of volunteer firefighters.
 
 We can assume that Port Chester is about to prove otherwise. As Professionals, those Volunteer Firefighters should be able to prove themselves "Each and Every Time", without the use of any Career Firefighters. So with this unique, newly created situation, many of those involved in todays fire service will be closely watching. "I know I will". But most importantly, for the Citizens who live and work in Port Chester, and for those PROFESSIONALS that Protect Them, "IT'S SHOWTIME".
 
  

 
It is an extended cab Enforcer, with the Arrow XT headlight bezel option. Probably not a PUC, as the lower pump area has a hose tray, which is not available on a PUC.

Wyckoff is not a PUC, regular pumper.  Saddle River is in but not lettered and no tool mounting. 

I don't think Wyckoff is a PUC.   Looks like a bit of a gap between the cab and body.   I'm sure we'll see more pics of it once they do final inspection and/or it's delivered. 
 
Nyack (Rockland Co.) took delivery of two new KME pumpers yesterday.  They will be assigned to Jackson Hose #3 and Highland Hose #5, replacing a 1984 Hahn and 1985 Pierce Arrow, respectively.   

According to their Facebook page The new Engine 5's going to the northern end firehouse & Engine 1's moving to Headquarters (better for us up in Englewood Cliffs  Fort Lee lol)

Earlier this week, I had the chance to go to Los Angeles. I'll be sharing some of the photos on this thread over the next couple of days.
 
For those who haven't seen it, my photos of LA City FD's Heavy Rescue 56 can be found here.
 
First up is Los Angeles County FD, they had this 2017 KME Tractor sitting at the shops, awaiting mating with a USAR Trailer.
 

This is a great idea. It would be great for fire and other emergency vehicles.
 
 

Here's their New Ford F450 4WD Horton unit 726 this am at Englewood Hospital 

Just a review , Port Chester had 16 Firefighters the last 8 that retired over time did not get replaced. 4 groups of 4 manning 2 engines . Engine 58 and Engine 59 24/7 for 109 years.

 Palisades Park Ladder 1 placed in service at 16:00 this afternoon 

Wow that's a beauty!!!!!

Sicomac Engine Company #3 in Wyckoff Pierce Enforcer engine is nearing final inspection.

I guess Buffalo is getting a new Ladder. Saw a rear mount ladder going North on I-95 at the Georgia/South Carolina border. It was lettered on the Ladder 'Buffalo FD'. Might be coming up from the E-One Facility in Ocala.
