    Mount Kisco, what a wonderful new engine. Glad you went with a Fed Q siren on this one. As for Grandma she never missed a step. Nice tradition when approching the station for the first time in a new rig.

    More and more depts are running Paramedic engines. With that said you need a bigger cab as the medical cabnet usual sits in the rear crew area. Also some depts have a small refrigerator for drugs that need to stay cool. That's were a custom cab comes in handy. Among many other reasons. According to NFPA.. it's $10,000.00 more to equip a commercial cab than a custom cab with the new requirements.

    Again... Training Training Training. I jhave seen Engine Co as long as a tanker many times. But thats not really the issue. A dept who operates Tankers needs to have assigned Engineers to them period. Take a driving course if availible learn how it feels empty, full and half full. Learn the braking distance and even proper accleration. Very Very important is slow and steady turning. If the Tanker has a Jake Brake use it. Be careful in rainy or snow conditions. Also off road conditions like down hill or a slope with a turn. Can you safely make this turn with out flipping? A tanker is only as big as the design from the dept. Lower the tank the better. You do not want a short stubby tanker thats a whole other issue.The tanker i drove was 37ft long. Thats only 4ft longer than most engine co. The operator also needs to be tested for air brakes and tanker. Its no different than asking a F/F to drive a tiller or eng. If he or she has never or very little drive time you are asking for trouble. Training!!

    Guys.. This dept has been doing this for years this is not new. If you look close you will see the lights do not block any doors or equip on the side.As for the cost, the members paid out of their own pockets. And yes, they still respond with this rig. You have dept's all over that install lights for Christmas again this is not new.

    Sir, i have never heard of anyone dying or a structure burning because a rig has Christmas lights on it. This is a tradition for many dept's and towns who support this.
