    Westchester County Cause and Origin Teams vehiles were given to the teams so you can't count them. Buying is from 1 dollar to x amount.

    Yorktown Fire Districts policy has been not to buy used. They feel it wouldn't be cost affective in buying some one elses problem.

    This may change if some thing comes along that would be worth it.

    There are many reasons FD get rid of the equipment (apparatus) Before buying a used apparatus from any dealer you should make sure you talk to the guys who used it and see what kind of runs it responded to. There have been many FDNY truck sold and have been in service in other dept for many years. There also has been many of them sold for scrap metal. Just remember the saying Buyer beware. I belive your front line (first due ) apparatus should be never replaced with a used vehiles. It should be up to date with NFPA and be reliable.

    Yorktown:

    Used ----- 0

    Chiefs spend your money wisely.

    When E119's replacement arrives, the current E119, the 1984 Mack, will be up for sale. When the time comes, I'll let everyone know. :cry:

    I think the 1975 Mack in Fairview was a loaner from KME , I don't think they paid any money for it.

    1984? Ambulance from Peekskill (was their 7504, CFD 55B2) now OOS.

    1984 was way to early. Porbably happened closer to 1995 or 1996. I remember Rob Stuck (our LT at the time) driving it down to Abbey in WP when I worked there to see if the Dawsons wanted to buy it. I was there from 1995 to 1996ish.
