Apparatus Graphics

[BedfordFire 7]

In your opinion, what piece of apparatus in Westchester has the best graphics? Also, what kinds of graphics does your department's rigs have? (this can be anything from the numbers to slogans to murals). This should be interesting to see who has picutres of what on their trucks

Rye's Engine 192 is the only one in the country with a graphic of a clam on the side.

Tough Topic for Apparatus Buffs. Personally I am a Tradionalist, I like Gold Leaf/ Silver Leaf and alot of it (not overkill) but adequate. Also the Refective stripping has to go with the graphics and appreance and not just thrown on looking. Also am a fan of door Emblems and Murals but like to see the Apparatus ID on the Rear Door BIG (Wether in Leaf or Sticker).

I have to agree, nothing beats the old red and white or black with some gold leaf and reflective tape. But if a graphic was done tastefully and had some inside joke or relevence, I could live with that. And ONLOCATION where did you get that picture of engine 109.

[Guest]

Both engines 130, and 131 in Peekskill have nice art work on the side of the rigs. The art work is a big company patch.

Just remember guys, those graphics don't mean a thing if the apparatus is sitting in the repair shop most of the time. Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it can do the job.

One I took, I have a few others, A Seagrave, Black over-Red=Love

capt.415 completely agree with u on that but to me another subject, Looks and Operational stand-point are both extremely priority to me.

Definatley have to agree with onlocation about everything he brought up - especially black over red. Again, this isn't Westchester, but one of my favorite FDNY Apparatus is E23. Some of the things they have done really set it off from the other rigs. Everything from the gold leaf lettering, to the bell on the front, it really makes it stand out.

I must admit, appliances in many parts of the U.S. do seem to be the pride & joy of many Fire Departments and Firefighters, both Volunteer and Permanent.

Here in my service not many Permanents show any pride in their Station Appliances.

One of the types of Appliances my own Station is equiped with, one that I must say our whole Station has pride in.

Here's Engine 47's decal.

TL2 has the best graphic for sure. I hope you guys keep the Grateful Dead theme with future rigs to come.
