Weather was very cooperative!

Great day of photos but this one was the highlight of the day:

From today's JN Legal Notices:

RIP Scotty

Was a great pleasure to know you and to have worked along side you.

Two new pumpers out to bid:

Yorktown Heights accepting bids for new engine through 5/18/10

Bedford Hills accepting bids for 2000gpm rescue-pumper through 5/3/10

Both posted in JN over the past few days.

Came upon a listing today for Mt. Kisco's practically new Ladder 43. Just curious why they are looking to sell it after barely 2 years?

Anyone with more info please advise.

From today's Journal News as well:

Village of Ossining has approved a $1.8 million bond for the purchase of new fire apparatus.

I have heard through the grapevine that this is for an engine and a 100' tower ladder, but if that has changed please advise. Thanks.

Archville FD accepting bids for new "custom pumper" through 9/29/09

From today's JN legal notices;

Tarrytown has approved $675,750 for the purchase of new fire apparatus. Guessing this is for an engine and something else but if anyone from T-Town can advise it would be appreciated.

Today's JN legal notices shows that Thornwood is soliciting bids for another pumper. Can someone from Thornwood advise if this is a re-bid for the pumper the were ordering at the beginning of the year to replace E-290 or a second new pumper? Thanks

Two in Westchester: Mamaroneck Village and Hastings

Four in Rockland: Nyack (x2), Haverstraw and Suffern

Three in Nassau: Glen Cove, Freeport and Elmont

The black over red tower is for East Meadow in Nassau County

According to a small article in today's Journal News, Westchester County has leased a HazMat vehicle to the White Plains FD for $1 a year to serve as an additional Haz-Mat unit for the City of White Plains and the County. The article quotes the value of the truck as being $350K so I am guessing that it is the former Haz-Mat 1 vehicle (now Utility 78) and not the new HM1. If anyone else has additional info, please let us know.

Congrats to the WPFD on this new addition.

Peekskill's old E-134 has finally gone into service in it's new home with the Pine Bluff FD in North Carolina:

Congrats to HHFD and I am thrilled to see that the tiller tradition will contine for them.

From today's Journal News legal notices section, Eastchester Fire District accepting bids for a new 1500 gpm pumper through 2/27/09.

Congrats to PMFD on getting this done. On the down side however, this means that yet another one of the dwindling Mack CF rigs in the county is history.
