If you're referring to the Somers unit, the body appears to be by Reading. If you look closely on one of the side pictures, their "logo" is in front of the rear wheel well.

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the unit from the LI Expo.

Similar setup to what has been on display at the L.I. Fire Expo the last two years. Pictures below.

I can't recall what the brand is, but where the cones are in the rear compartmnet, that is a full length slide out tray. Also, in the cab is the controls for the three arrow sticks, right between the seats, nice setup. Front compartment Officers side is a refrigerator, and rear Drivers side compartment is a speedy dry hopper. The chassis is a Ford F-series four door.

It is TL57. Isn't the 7 is part of the 57 on the drivers side of the bucket and the 5 is part of the 57 on the Officers side of the bucket...

My point exactly, but when you look at the top pic, it could be "75" .

Are those the bay doors for Scarsdale? The doors do not look like they are tall enough to fit the ladder Scarsdale recently purchased. Of course I am just using the construction worker and the dumpster as a rough comparison, but those doors look small compared to the building

It's probably the angle of the picture that I took. The bay to the left (the original two bay bay) is part of the original building and they had TL29 (Sutphen 70'?) stationed there with E54 & 2343 (Duty Officer). The bay to the right is the new addition, and that bay is taller than the original.

I was driving through Bedford Hills last week and caught same different angles of BHFD's Tower Ladder.

I thought that Bedford Hill's TL was 57, not 75, as it looks like on the bucket.

Maybe there are just too many digits on the bucket .

Out and about this week, took some pic's of Scarsdale & Bedford Hills Firehouses under construction.

First up Scarsdale FD's Headquarters.

This is cool.

MARTINSBURG, W.VA. -- Berkeley County's multimillionaire is at it again.

On Thursday, W. Randy Smith gave away a lot more of his money.this time, a little more than $1 million.

Six Berkeley County fire departments each got a Ford F-350, four-wheel-drive, four-door pickup truck equipped with snow plows and walk-behind snow blowers

I believe Sutphen is making a 100" single axel ladder

I do not see any single axle ladders at Sutphen.com longer than 70'. Rosenbauer lists two ladders longer than 100'. The Viper series 60' to 109', and the Raptor series 102', which looks to be the Metz aerial bucket.

One more pic posted as the cover shot at EMTBravo.com.

A couple of months ago I happened to drive by this house and was unable to snap some pic's. This week I finally got them, so here they are.

The quarters of FDNY Ladder 47.

The quarters of FDNY Engine 64.

And their relation to each other.

They are located on Castle Hill Avenue, Bronx.

This firehouse was mentioned previously in this FDNY E45/L58 Firehouse thread.

Here are a couple more pics with some more detail.

Some additional detail of the L47 house.

Some additional detail of the E64 house.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Eight years exactly to the day that "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" was proclaimed.

Now the mission HAS been accomplished.

Great pics Keep em' comin! BTW, where is 42 living these days? If i remember, it didnt fit on Snowden Ave....just curious.

TL42, along with L41 & R14 are at OFD HQ - 21 State St.

Here are some pic's from today's event.

According to Hudson Valley Fire Equipment's website they will be posting photos of the "collision repair" soon.

E99 is my Company, I better be there.

It's tomorrow.

This is a little way off, but the Intrepid Air, Sea, Space Museum is hosting a Firefighter Appreciation Weekend at the Intrepid on July 16 & 17, 2011 (Saturday & Sunday).

Looking at last years schedule of events it looks like the blessing of the FDNY Marine Fleet is scheduled for 1100 on Saturday. When more info is posted I will pass it on.

This has gotten me a bit confused. According to Recent Deliveries at Seagrave.com, it looks like this rig is ready for, or has been delivered. The schematics for this rig show a revision to the plan with a date of 01/13/11 (see lower portion of the print) noting a "final inspection". Anyone have more info on this rig?

Can someone link the Discussion that I started on November 2 2010 in the Apparatus photo section page 4 "Ford 550 ' and it will tie in with this. Thanks !

Here's the link for the Sing Sing Apparatus you requested. The Dispatchers at OFD HQ told me that this rig is driven by outside the walls at least once a week, usually going by HQ.

For all intents and purposes it is behind the old Hudson Valley Motorcycle shop to the right

From MillwoodFireDistrict.org click on the New Firehouse link. From the Schematic Design PowerPoint Presentation see pages 7 & 12 for site plans of this Firehouse. It is a bit confusing where it is situated, but if you compare it to Google Maps when you reference the "overhead wire towers" of the map and the site plan, it appears it will be to the rear and East of the old Hudson Valley Motorcycle shop.

Anyone know how long units were operating for?

I know I was sitting on a 2 1/2" line on the D exposure roof for most of eleven hours, and I got on scene about 45 minutes into the alarm.

bump

The event is next Sunday, with a rain date of the following Sunday.

I do not see any cross bracing between the I beams, or connections to the building on the left. At least they appear to be set on the tops of the built out support columns of the building (possibly a garage). Second point is the connection to the brick house on the right. The I beams "connected" to the brick house do not appear to have adequate support. The brick wall was probably designed to only support the weight of the house above it, not the additional weight of the I beams and the addition pictured. There are two windows in the brick building of which one or more of the I beams may be in line with these windows, thus requiring additional construction to beef up the header on the top of the windows, and the side supports along the sides of these windows. I can't comment on the flooring support of the addition, (due to again the angle of the picture) but it does not appear to be adequate.

Good pic & topic Chief.

Does this rescue have a light tower? I thought the previous one's did.

From my pictures in post #27 of this thread, along with another one I have of the cab roof, I can say no there is no light tower on the top of this rig.
