When Code 3 chooses a model to reproduce it cannot be one of a kind

since making only 1 of , makes production prices not feasible. Westchester has a lot of nice rigs . Any more suggestions :-k =D>

They have rec. funding from Uncle Sam to staff for 2 months

so I been told.

The most understaffed fire dept in West. with the work load they carry. Maybe there should be a real Fire Commissioner instead of

a Political Patronage job. does any know a good foot doctor? :twisted:

:-k How about YFD collapse unit Mack CF?????

average engine carries 30 gallons foam- 1 -500 gal trailer= 10-15 engines. nuff said :-k

When the Fairview Fire District was organized in 1928 their first Apparatus purchase was a 1928 Ahrens Fox Engine Model NS-4

Engine 1 served as front line pumper unitl 1954. It was then placed into reserve status until 1966 when it was sold to George Proper in

the Albany NY area. It was sold to a party in Mass. in the late 1970s

And then to a Fire Truck Collector in California in 1979??.

The Fairivew Fire Dept tracked it down in 1977 but is was not for sale. On March 4 2004 members of the Fairivew Fire Dept traveled to Big Bear Lake California with then intent to purchase same.

I am glad to report within the next 30 days Engine 1 will return to

its original owner the Fairview Fire Dept.

The Engine is in running condition and with most of the original

equiptment and the hose.

Listen to the radio and you will here

of the fire dept that cannot appear.

mutual aid they say is the answer

but if you cant get out

what does it matter.

For all of the experts listen well and you will see

central dispatch is not the answer

food for thought

We can come up with a 1000 what ifs. You handle the incident you are responding to, not what might happen.

Chris498 sent me ,,,via PM ,,, =D> the correct nick name for Elmsford Ladder (prior to TL21) and the reason it got the name ..............

anybody with the anwser?

The 1970s Vintage ALF was quint 2,aka Yellow Bird

No offense to the Greenburgh Fire Companies but I think it is overkill when they dispatch you guys and all the Yonkers Emerg. Svs. to the highway accidents.  Lately it seems as though it is getting to be a trend...let's just hope that no one gets hurt.

Due to the oddity of running on the Sprain it is practical to

run north and south due to heavy traffic. And the crazy types of

emergenicies we encounter the manpower is needed. You cannot

believe the situations that have been seen by the Sprain Brook
