New Local Apparatus Orders?

[RZ502 12]

Who else is getting new equipment, is Mt Kisco replacing ladder 43 or the tower ladder. When is Eng 104 going to be replaced. Yorktown is due for a new ladder truck the one they have now is 37 years old and that is a long time for a truck to be in service but I am sure it still does the job regardless. I hope all the new fire apparatus serves their depts well.

At this current time Mt. Kisco is prob going to replace L - 43 with another 100' stick before they look to replace TL-14. TL-14 is still in beautiful condition. I hope they go with Segrave! I also hope that 104 is kept and presurved. It is a beautiful truck. I love the look of the old Mack's.

Last week in New Rochelle, I saw an American LaFrance 110' Rearmount stick that was un-marked except for "110' Aerial Ladder" on the ladder itself.  The guys were doing something with it at 666 Pelham Rd. along with E-24 and E-17.

I think they were checking the funcionality of the 110 in there city

they are up for a new engine 24, a mask service unit ( both to come in winter 05-06) and i believe a new truck, and a new heavy rescue are also in the works

10-8, I saw the "Spy Shots" of the new E-24, which looks great btw. I work about 2 blocks away from NRFD station 4 and usually their spare engine(E-17 or E-18) is housed with E-24. Does anyone know what's going to happen to the old E-24 or the spare once the new engine comes in? Is this new heavy rescue going to replace R-4?

As far as I know the old engine 24 will become a spare and either 17 or 18 will remain another spare down at station 1...the remaining of the 2 (17 or 18) may become a foam pupmer.

Also the new heavy rescue will replace rescue 4 and I believe rescue 4 will become a rescue geared towards trench/collapse.

A foam pumper would be a good idea with all the marinas in the city. When you think about it, a boat(yatch) is just a big floating gas tank. Thanks for the info.

Stamford Fire Rescue has another HME Silverfox 1500/750/50 pumper on order that should be in by February or March. From what I've heard it's going to E-7. With that addition every front line engine will be an HME except E-2 (1995 Spartan / General)...and that's next!

The SFRD also has a HME 100+' rear mount on order but that probably won't be in until the end of '06 or early '07.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

be Safe!!

Somers-

  Placing add-on order for another Ambulance, to replace current 80B1.  What to do with the curent 80B1 is in the Talking stage now.  Possibilty that it will be converted into SCUBA rescue vehicle, and replace the current U-34.

  Committee formed to replace MA-14.  Current MA-14 will become Utility 5 and the Current U-5 will be disposed of.

  Vote to reform Apparatus Committee for a new Engine 184 to replace Engine 188.  When the new E-184 arrives, E-188 will be placed in reserve and E-186 will be disposed of.

Mahopac Falls F.D. has just signed an order with Marion for a replacement to a 1972 Mack Tanker that is out of Station 2. The new truck will be a bigger version of the current 19-2-1 (that can be seen on the departments website.) The new truck is going to be a 2500 gallon tanker/pumper and should arrive in approx. 12 months. Also a new chiefs vehicle or vehicles and scuba vehicle are in the talks. More info to follow...

Nothing through the grapevine yet. Would be interesting though to see if they will refurb the unit or replkace it with a pumper-tanker on a custom chassis or go with a straight tanker and pump on a commercial. Don't see too many Ward LaFrance Ambassador pumper tankers. New Cannan and Fort Montgomery are the only two in this area I know of.
