57truck

Bedford Village has plans to build a new firehouse, goes out to public sometime soon. Not going to have the bowling alley like the current fire house

Close chris498- Snorkel 1 was a FWD/Young/Pitman Snorkle 85ft but it was a 1968 not 1970.

57truck's first mutual aid call was to Mohegan for a 10-75

cause was labeled electrical/accidential the night of the call by the c/o team

Heres a good one:

Tower Ladder 57 aka 57truck replaced what truck, what year was the truck that it replaced and what was the first mutual aid call that 57truck did when it was first placed in service???

Heres the vehicles I would want to run my department

Chiefs Cars:

2 Chevy Thaoe's simliar to (Bedford's 2041 and 2042)

1 Ford F350 Crew Cab simliar to (Bedford Hills 2033)

3 Engines:

Engine 113 (Pound Ridge) awesome looking truck with alot of goodies and a nice short wheel-base to get into those tight driveways

Engine 270 (Yorktown) What can i Say, just an outstanding truck, great rescue-engine/Fasteam truck

Engine 240 (Purchase) nice Seagrave engine, this too has a nice short-wheel base for those tight driveways

1 Ladder:

Tower Ladder 57 aka 57truck (Bedford Hills) what a great aerialscope, it gets the job done everytime

2 Rescue/Utility:

Rescue 10 (Bedford Hills) Great truck

Rescue 31/Utility 16 great truck with alot of scene lights

Tanker:

Tanker 3 (Pound Ridge) nice looking truck, holds alot of water

2 Mini Attack's:

M.A. 16 (Croton Falls) nice truck

M.A. 9 (Bedford Hills) great 4x4 truck, great for brush fires

What extrication tools do you think works the best at pin jobs?? The combi-tool is a great item, but only can be used to a certain extent due to limitations on the cutting and spreading force that each different brand has on its tool. Whats your input on spreaders, cutters, rams etc.?????

Jeep 2 is Goldens Bridge now utility 38

Jeep 1 south salem or croton falls???? dont really know

millertown rd is adjcent to stone hill rd (rt. 137) and 255 is a couple houses in on millertown.

defiently the Q2B, theirs no comparsion between the electric version and the real "Mechincal Q2B". The old and more realistic Q2b blows any siren way. Like (DG795 said," The public knows the sound and associates it with not an ambulance, not a police car, but a fire truck. This tells people that there is a LARGE vehicle headed my why which I must yield to." You know that when your touching that foot pedal for the Q2B, that people are going to hear the siren.

Do you think that the Q2b's are good sirens in addition to the regualr electronic sirens that are on most Fire Apparatus. Each Q2b in my point has its own distinct tone to it. Like 57truck's Q2b you can tell that the ladder is coming from like a mile down the road due to the projection of sound that the siren puts out

Bedford Hills use to respond with Rescue 10 to all FASTeam calls until 57truck was placed in service in 2000. Both trucks carry all the neccessary FASTeam equipment, with the exception that Rescue 10 has LUKAS tools and airbags incase of some type of structual collapse and these tools are needed. When 57truck was placed in service it became the primary FASTeam unit and Rescue 10 as backup unit. Equipment on 57truck consists of a Bullard MTX thermal imager, ventialion vans, various saws for ventilation or forcible entry,Oxy-Acytelene torches for cutting metal objects and FASTeam equipment with (rope bags, search rope, bail out bags, pulleys, webbing, harnesses and various other FASTeam and truck company equipment. Ems equipment is also carried in the FAST compartment which consists of a jumpbag, o2 bag and defib. 57truck can carry 6 personnel and additional personnel will respond with either chief 2031,2032 or 2033 to all mutual aid FASTeam calls.

is 183 still going to be a rescue-engine and purchase all new equipment for your new rescue truck. Or is 183 going to become a regular engine and all the hurst tools and other rescue equipment going to go on the new rescue??

57truck's slogan "SOARING ABOVE THE REST" A true ladder sign that can be found on the platform just below the two deluge guns on the bucket

BH's Rescue 10 has all the tools a Heavy Rescue Needs. From its LUKAS tool set up to the 9,000 watt wilburt light tower on the roof. Rescue 10 has all the goodies that a heavy rescue in Westchester needs

57truck gets the job done with its vast array of Truck Company and FASTeam Equipment. None can compare to 57truck "Soaring Above the Rest"
