  1. It went well at our meeting last night, there were alot of older members that love this rig, so it was no problem getting the paper work needed to bring her home. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to post another set of pictures on her journey back to Wassaic.

    Thanks to everyone that lit a fire under me to get this done.

    :rolleyes: GOOD JOB MARK !!!! THANKS SIGNMAN. SCREW THE CAP LOCKS!!!! <_<


  2. I have a better one for you, several years ago while at work one of our officers was out on a run with our Fire Engine, which was on old 68 Ford/Ward Lafrance Gas job that smoked liked crazy. He was passed by a vehicle on a double yellow line and our officer threw on the emergency lights and pulled the guy over and then issued him a UTT for passing in a no passing zone. The guy plead not guilty but in court the judge found him guilty as charged.

    I work at a NYS facility and we provide emergency services to the campus so we are crossed trained in police/fire and EMS and are NYS Peace Officer. Ther offender was like you can't ticket me, here's your ticket and have a nice day. :P

    :rolleyes: Is this G.T.? :lol:


  3. Our brush/utility price was around $120,000 so that was roughly a $3,600 savings for us. The unit we have spec'd is setup for not only brush/grass fires but with some firefighting punch for our dirt road/off the beaten path areas. 300 gals of water with 8 gallons of class A foam and 2- 1 3/4 preconnects as well as two hose reels, one with 200' of 1" hose and other for a dead reel for carrying our forestry hose, there also is a try to hold another 400' to 500' of forestry hose as well. It also has a port-cafs system too and the other basic hand tools. If you're not familar with the porta CAFS I supplied a link, it is a nice small piece of equipment.

    :rolleyes: HEY, YOU ON SOME TYPE OF COMMISSION!!! :lol:


  4. hahahahaaaa!

    We were doing a burn at the county with Wasasaic...I climbed in and the guy in the bucket said, "I hope it goes back down!"

    My one and ONLY time in that thing!

    I actually have some good pics of it from when we burned my grandfather's barns down on Tower Hill Rd...that and one of your engines stuck in the mud...

    :blink: I would beat that is our head commish. Always a joker. :lol:


  5. East Fishkill ran a 196? 85' Young Snorkel from 1990-1999. The purchase of the 95' Aerial Platform in 1993 gave East Fishkill 2 Trucks, again, until 1999, when the Snorkel was sold. It currently is owned, I believe by a tree cutting company, or roofing company out of Hyde Park/Poughkeepsie area.

    I saw it 3-4 years or so ago, working on a side street between Main Street and 44/55 East. Wish I had stopped to take a pic!!

    To the best of my knowledge, there are no more active in-service Snorkels in Dutchess anymore.

    :rolleyes: I belive it was called the rusty goat tree company ? I have seen her many times in the pass few years.
