Tanker 6 has 600 feet of LDH
Engine 115 has approx. 1300 feet LDH
Engine 116 has approx. 1400 feet LDH
Engine 117 has approx. 1400 feet LDH
Katonah has put quite a bit of thought into this, yes we have alot of training to do yes we have alot to learn, if the truck is not ordered it will be ordered,soon.
I did not pay attention if they said it was ordered as I am on the truck commitee but Katonah and Somers Commisioners meetings are the same night so I can not be at both.
Smeal 75 foot, 400 gallons water 1000 feet 5" LDH, Rear Mount Ladder , Crosslays, ground ladders. etc.
Ladder would fit in building as is know,
We noticed that the floor drains were starting to break up, upon further investigation found out the orginal floor, ( not addition floor was collapsing and had voids under it, also need to add a oil seperator as per DEC, which was not needed when addition was put on building.
in my opinion if they were ever to consolidate Town of Bedford into one FD we would still need both a Tower and a straight stick, get rid of some pumpers sure but I am not the one to do any of that in Bedford. I do think they will complimant each other nicely in town. Also we will not be getting rid of 117 the engine that is do to be replaced until further on down the road and we configure response, training etc.

Tonight as we were talking about Mass Tommorow for Jimmy we received a message that On CMT at 7pm our Extreme Makeover is on.
I always forget how little all the Girls were then. Anyways it sure is a nice memory to see. But it never gets any easier, i sit here and cry just like i did then.

I hope we have more rigs next year as well,plan on the same weekend May 22nd 2011 , It was a busy day I was happy to see the field so full of teams as well as spectators. You all helped us raise money for the fund, I hope everyone had a good a time as we did.
Jimmy would have loved being in the middle of it all, but he actually was, if it was not for him we would not be doing this.
Thanks everyone see you next year,
Be safe
