PCFD ENG58

I doubt very much that any of the Ops people were in the departure lounge especially if it was packed. TSA or airline people being rude is part of the job description.

You are right, they are not prepared to evacuate the terminal in an emergnecy. But try getting the Rye Fire Inspector into a county building or get the county "fire inspector" over there. Lotsa luck

RYE FIRE INSPECTOR? AIRPORT IS RYE BROOK HARRISON AND ARMONK AND NOT WHITE PLAINS!

REST BROTHER AND KEPT A EYE ON US , I KNOW YOU WILL.

BEDFORD HILLS PUMPER IS AT BEDFORD HILL WOMAN'S PRISON. IT REPLACED A WARD LAFRANCE/C FORD PUMPER.

I fully agree that there should be a age limit. you should be at least 30 years old to "get on the job" that will take care of all those runnie nose kids!

First off, I've been collecting and restoring fire apparatus for over 30 years and was in awe of what I saw on Sunday. Great bunch of guys that are the Catskill Fire Cats local chapter of SPAAMFAA. For those of you young guys who don't know what this is I will spell it out, Society for the Preservation and Apprication of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America, (SPAAMFAA). First photo's taken are of some local rigs and if you guys want more let me know.

Any one know of any police supply stores in the area with decent prices? The only one that I really know of is New England Sportswear.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the heads up ,, at least I know now to go directly to Somes Uniform in NJ instead of wasting time going to American gun.

NEW ENGLAND UNIFORM in DANBURY HAS BEEN OUR SUPPLER FOR YEARS. GREAT SERVICE

self contained unit, no supply line I say about 1000 gal tank looks about right. where are there hydrants out there?

Although I dont know much about this truck, I would image its no longer in service because wouldn't it state the unit number in the county roster? From what I see, thats 60-control unit designation plate (red) on the front of the truck. Since I see the "Engine" numbers only go up to 300, maybe this truck was 913 under the Thruway and a different number under 60-control. If departments like Greenburgh CD, the DES and NYS Power are listed on the roster, I would imaginge this would have to be if it was still in service. And not to take away from this topic, but I located a picture of a piece of fire apparatus used by the Port Authority, other than an Oshkosh ARFF truck. Its a huge Autocar foam tender/tanker....but dont know much more than that. Sorry, but I dont know what website this was from or who took the picture.

mid 90's white/volvo not a autocar

I think it served as either Engine 5 of 6.  I remember seeing it in a book marked as one of these engines.  Any SFRD guys remember?

Its an American LaFrance body / White chassis.  I think it had a 1250 pump / 500 water.

engine 5 is where it served

Eastchester Rescue 5, a Brockway! And I believe Saulsbury body. This sat at the Bronxville station of Eastchester FD next to Engine 29 for many years before being given to the county. It still ran and drove, however it had severe body cancer. I remember the sticker on the officer side dash that said "Sit Down, Shut Up, And Hold On". It was then sent to the DPW Purchasing garage on the Grasslands Reservation, where it was ultimately disposed of. It's too bad Eastchester didn't replace it with another Mack.

That's what I thought about the Pierce Quantum but it grows on you after a while so give it a chance.

If you give it a chance it will fall apart before you get to like it!

LOOKS LIKE YONKERS COMPACTS AND PROBABLY BUILT LIKE THEM E- ONE JUNK, OOPS POP RIVET ON THE GROUND

Is that the new fire hq that the comissioner wants?

Port chester and Rye Brook still very busy, main st under water using front end loaders and rescue 40 using marine 10 to rescue trapped people in homes at avon circle. all companys still active.

The rig I go to work with, the "midnight special'' Well worn, like me!

WOW same day as the LINNFILD MASS. muster, sure makes a hard pick. with gas prices going up I may redirect the old ward to your show.

AFTER SEEING THE FOOTAGE, IT WASN'T THAT BAD ,BOOM OVER THE BED AND ONLY UP MAYBE TEN FEET , STILL A RISK BUT A GOOD CALL.

How about a video shot of the Fairview fox in a port chester parade in 1954. some body show me how to do it. [TIM] plus just about every dept in area.
