Andy any idea why they are going with a rearmount instead of a tractor-drawn aerial?

County: Orange City/Town/Municipality/Dept: Middletown Unit designation/identifier: Chassis & Body (or Aerial) Manufacturer and model: Seagrave Pump size, tank size (water/foam), aerial type & length: 100ft rear-mount aerial, no pump or tank Estimated delivery date: Status: In begining stages of production Notes: From Seagrave Facebook page.

For those going up, if you could please snap a photo of my old rig - 1979 Seagrave tractor-drawn aerial (ex Ridgefield Park NJ and Cliffside Park NJ, now black over red). Andy bought it a few months ago and I assume it will be on display up there. Thank you in advance!

So they ordered a KME tiller, Pierce Contender pumper and Seagrave pumper all in one year.....

Any idea what they plan on doing with my old rig?

What did Hartsdale hit?

I've been wondering the same thing. Aren't the Squad's out for bid as well?

I think it is pretty tough to get one but I could be wrong....I believe Seagrave stopped making the Lo-Profile cab, but I remember seeing a 2008 Seagrave Maurader II (not Lo-Profile) rearmount 100ft on a single axle. I think it was to some department in Illinois or Indiana.

On my Seagrave tiller was have a ten-inch bumper, mainly just to house the Q siren. We have 2 4-ft rook hooks mounted on the bumper.

Anyone know of any update on the tiller order by FDNY? I had heard a while back that they were putting them out to bid but have not heard anything since.
