    New FDNY Tillers

    Does anyone know if Seagrave of the FDNY has ever considered duel axles on the tractor part of their tillers? The department that I retired from had them from Duplex/LTI, LaFrance/LTI, and now Pierce. Better braking, GVWR ratings and traction in the snow. You can see pictures on Google image...

    FDNY Retro Look?? yay or nay

    I think that the company logos/patches stand out better on the white cabs. Best looking rigs around in my opinion. I did like the block style gold numbers on the ladder boards better than the white.

    117 acting 33. I thought that a 95 footer wouldn't fit in 75/33?

    New Seagraves

    My dept allowed some customization on the rigs, but the numbers were off limits due to being visible from a distance for the command post to be able to see.

    New Seagraves

    Are these engines tilt-cab? Also is the cap on the front bumper to the right ( under the gated wye ) a discharge? Thanks.

    Pre-connect hose on FDNY engine companies

    Does the FDNY use any pre-connect attack lines(1 3/4 inch) for single family houses in SI or areas of Queens? Just curious. Thanks.

    Fire Dept./house terminology.

    I thought it might be fun to see what different departments, FDNY, of course, use as common terminology around the station. The ''housewatch'' thread made me think of it. The department that I retired from is Columbus, Ohio which is a mid-sized department. I'll start with housewatch. We call it...

    Squirt Apparatus

    Columbus, Ohio had 5 of them many years ago. They went with the engine company on every run. GMC chassis, no pump. Basically, a hose wagon with the boom attached. Nice for laying a 5 inch supply line to the engine.

    FDNY apparatus placement

    Most of the areas that I worked in Columbus, Ohio had alleys. SOP's were for the 2nd due ladder to try to get to the rear(3 side). Tillers could usually make it, aerial platforms, not so much. They also carry 1000 ft of 5 inch diameter supply hose on every engine company. The engine companies...
