beautiful rig, I actually had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman who owns this rig at the allentown spring melt show me and him were both at the spaamfaa booth renewing our enjine! enjine! subscriptions, lol, we both started shooting the breeze and i come to find out he owned it. Very nice man and on the younger side like early 40's so shell be kept like that for a long time.

Hello all, I just bought a 1985 pierce arrow pumper about a year ago, dont ask why it was a weak moment and a good deal, but anyway, Im going nuts, I need the dash emblem and cant find it anywhere, one just sold on ebay but I saw it at the last minute. I know alot of arrows were in westchester and if any one has the dash plaque please let me know, its one of the last parts I need and is almost impossible to find. Any leed is greatly apprieciated, just pm me with any info thanks guys.

Anyone know the fate of NHFD's 2 ward lafrance pumpers, love to get my hands on one of them!

Kidnapping / grand theft auto is a crime... just a friendly reminder

Sometimes principal is more important............J/K! (not really)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the old 1987 U-5 has been sold. U-34 out of service I think also..

Anybody know of the new TL 18 for somers?

If they get rid of U-5 and U-34, whats the department mechanic gonna be bummin around in?

whats gonna happen to the old U-5?

What pierce is takin a walk? the last '87 i presume.

I say we sell all the fire trucks we run and buy pick ups and mini pumpers, this way we get the best of both worlds, good fuel economy (yea right) and a real fire truck responding to calls (yea right)! look what they run upstate, in the mid west and down south, they cover hundreds of square miles, granted not as populated and the only "support vehicles" they have are their own POV's! "Oh what would we do without chiefs cars" my father used to say when he was a fire commishioner!

lol no. I think its a special solution you have to add. IIRC its AUS 32 or something. Urea and nitrogen i believe. supposed to reduce NOx from diesel exhaust. I'll keep my 7.3 powerstroke

Ill second that brother, never get rid of mine either! Best pick 'em up truck diesel engine out there!

Keep in mind, Texas is a gigantic state with large stretches of rural highway that are very well maintained and marked, with great visibility. However, I do think this would increase the fatality rate of accidents and I don't think some drivers could handle this speed.

Number 1: people around here are to occupied with stuff in their cars and their little electronics to drive at all at that kind of speed.

Number 2: 85 MPH is population control! J/K ,

Number 3: I would love to have a road around here that is 85 MPH, me being the motor head that I am!

Just a quick question for all you ossining guys here, why is there a car 2331, 2332 and 2334 but no 2333? Peeked my interest after visiting lfd171's site. Thanks for your time, steve.

Does anyone know what make/model this new/used rescue/pumper is? And is it safe to assume the 1981 hahn will be sold?

What about when that department vehicle is used for monetary gain?

My department nipped that one in the bud years ago when one of our chiefs used his car as a work vehicle......... persoally I think thats funny but I could see why someone would be angry with that!

ALF announcement coming out soon. Paperwork has been signed. Dealership established.

And I know who it is but Im not at liberty to discuss, details to follow................!

O.K. I gotcha gpdexplorer, I think the 1974 ward is privatley owned according to lfd171's site on tarrytowns page but other than that all others are owned by the companies, thanks a bunch, steve.

So, does anyone know if these 5 antiques are privatley owned or department/company owned?

Holy cow, das alot of parade pieces there. Good for them it shows they are proud of where they came from and want to perserve there past.

Yea, but, are all 5 privatley owned or are they all parts trucks for 1 or 2 trucks?

Wait, I'm confused, how many antiques does tarrytown have?

well, I guess my mother will be buying an expedition instead of an explorer when she goes for a new car next year. She has owned a '92 '98 and '05 and my father has owned a '97 and an '05. I owned an '01 so yes I have had many of them but dont want anything to do with this, whatever it is, I know this is what the people want but....... well just read my caption!

it sounded minor.

Good, glad no one was hurt.

I herd a rumor that one of the chiefs cars had an accident on the way to a call the other day. I hope everyone that was in the car is ok, I hope someone can elaborate on this, is the car wrecked? Stay safe

Does anybody know if the larchmont fire department still owns the 1922 american lafrance antique that they bought in 2003 or did they sell it?

Did port jervis get a few fly cars, someone told me they got 2, or are they personally owned vehicles with designations? Can anyone confirm?

Found this Ford/Ward Lafrance at the Thunder Ridge Ski Area in Patterson, NY. NYS Registration sticker on windshield says 1969 with a VIN of C85LUD98788, a plate on the pump panel said 1968. Obviously was a snapple advertisement, but it looks like it was originally red, and later repainted yellow. 1000gpm pump/500 gallons water(estimate). Inside the cab, on a sunvisor KEH-912 is written in marker. Google search comes back to Ulster County Emergency services. Does anyone have any ideas on who this previously served?

on the pump panel

I'm gonna say rosendale fire dept, in ulster county.
