Thornwood Fire District will be taking delivery of a 2016 Sutphen Custom Pumper soon. This rig will replace the recently retired Engine 89.

I think the more important thing is....will it carry on Hartsdale's solid all lime green paint job (My preference), or will a solid red paint job win out?
 
I'm told Hartsdale committee members were checking out this rig amongst others at the Long Island show.  This truck is owned by Atlantic Hook And Ladder of Port Washington FD. It's a 2016 Spartan ERV 93', the model Hartsdale is going with.
 
 

 
 
 
 

Does anyone know the cost of this new truck?

 
That's the rumor currently being kicked around. Nothing concrete from a valid source yet.

 

Too early in the Season to consider leaving any hard surface, it happens. Hope they got it out without any damage to the undercarriage.

Confirmed:  The earlier mentioned new Pierce engine for Cornwall (Orange) will be going to Highland as a replacement for the '85 Mack CF.

ok thanx for the info. just odd seeing a huge cab on a small box.

 
I did. Engine 10 is a 2015 KME Severe Service Predator,  one of the 34 KME "Triples" in their fleet. @pump305 correct me if I am wrong on the year.
 
Engine 10 is in the Central Bureau division, 11th Battalion.  It serves downtown Los Angeles, near the convention center along with it's housemates, Light Force 10, and RA (Rescue Ambulance) 10. This station responded to 5,358 EMS calls, 619 critical ALS calls, 1,313 non-EMS calls,  and 45 structure fires in 2016.
 

 
 
It's getting rare enough to see a "clean" rig in this area anymore, never mind one in that kind of shape.   I remember one of the guys on the model board (Mike Quinn, maybe?) commenting on a pic he posted that they had to wait a half hour beyond the daily training to be completed because the crew wanted to "wipe down" the rig before they posed it.   I certainly wouldn't have objected to that.   Would LOVE to shoot rigs that look that good!   
 
That having been said, did you get any of LAFD's newer KME engines?  

 
I, at first, assumed it was a new Lifeline, since I thought they were the only manufacturer that still made a slant side box. and it looks very similar. I am not 100% sure, but as far is I know, the box is custom built new by Braun Northwest. It looks similar to the slant side currently produced by Lifeline.  Braun discontinued theirs several years ago. Braun Northwest-Northstar Emergency Vehicles is a separate company then Braun, and is popular in the Pacific Northwest and parts of California.
 
I do know that Braun Northwest was awarded a bid for the ambulance above in the amount of $303,000. It will serve 7 years as a frontline ambulance, and 7 years as a reserve.

From being an outsider", I have observed over 15 years now how they are very meticulous and take great pride in keeping the apparatus in the best shape. It's part of the culture. Even Engine 9, one of the busiest engine companies in the nation, spotlessly shines. Another truck I photographed almost 10 year ago and then again last month and I couldn't tell the difference of wear.  It's true, they don't have to deal with the corrosive salt, deteriorated roadways, and rust, but I rarely see career departments (and some volunteer) in this area washing the motor, hand cleaning an aerial, waxing a truck, or even rinsing down apparatus when they are caked in salt in times other then with an annual inspection dinner coming up. Not only a pride thing, but also an important part of the maintenance of the truck.
 
Additionally, the Engineer for the pumpers, and Apparatus Operator for the ladders, USAR's, and other specialty vehicles, is a promotional rank. So there is  a person specifically charged with taking care of the rig on each shift, as opposed to it being an assignment for the day.
 

I have to say, they are some of the best taken care of apparatus I have ever seen, even their extremely busy companies take care of their trucks. It is impressive.

Heavy Rescue 56 is now HR3. The Pierce LAFD tillers all 7 of them have been returned to Pierce with a long list of issues. LAFD doesnt have 40 Truck co so that is incorrect. 10 year contract is true for now. LaCo Fire HM and USAR tractors are custom built for that use.  You know the difference by the USAR tractor has a solid red bumper and 3 door cab. HM has a chrome bumper and a 4 door cab. 3 new HM and 1 USAR tractors are currently awaiting  as one HM tractor is assigned to either HM 43 or 105. Most Duplex trucks are reserve status but.. very good rigs. LAFD also has an order with Pierce for new engine co's. Hope this helps.

I LOVE this engine! It's a 2017 E-One Typhoon for Boston Fire Department, one of 23 that will be delivered to entirely replace the KME Engines that they were having major issues with due to the MaxxForce motor. Some of the no-nonsense features that stand out to me that I really like are the short wheelbase,  narrow conventional pump panel, recessed bumper intake and Q, painted rims, the stepwell for the doors which is kind of a barrier door-full door hybrid, and the reasonable height hose bed.
 
There seem to be a lot of departments returning to E-One after a hiatus, such as Boston and Chicago. To me, that says something.
