Eastchester Fire Department won the bid for this 1992 Pierce Arrow.

The former Engine 176 will serve as a reserve/spare apparatus for Bronxville , Tuckahoe , Eastchester New York. The rig was picked up from Fairview Station #2 and driven to its new home.

I wonder if this will replace E29's older Mack or if it will replace the spare E28?

Either way, good luck with it Eastchester! (Do it some justice, paint it RED! :lol: )

The former Engine 176, at least as I remember it about 2 years ago, was in decent shape. It was refurbed around 1996, I believe?

It's good to see EFD is being fiscally prudent at least when purchasing a spare. I remember a few years ago, when I dispatched for 60 (around 99/00) their fleet was really hurting, especially the truck companies. Then they got all the ALF's, and the Seagrave. And it's not the first time Eastchester has bought a truck from another department. I think at one point someone said that they had purchased an aerial from Mount Vernon!

Someone please post a photo when it's been lettered for Eastchester!!

If I'm not mistaken, the ladder off of the ex-Ladder 15 was from a former Mount Vernon truck that the boys at the shop put on when the original ladder failed its test.

The front bumper was shortened , but the it was never refurbed at all. Just regular care & maintenance.

Thats a good buy. The scrap price is running in that range

I thought the scrap price for apparatus was a T-shirt?
