It's going to be days or possibly even weeks before they start trying to do anything like that. Right now I'm sure the building is not stable enough to consider putting somebody on top of it to attach a crane to the vehicles.

You actually forget the category of "looking for a ride"!

Actually, I think it is a reason to support more engine companies instead of additional meeting on the existing companies. If you had manpower you are just tying up more people for a scene that in most cases doesn't Req that much manpower. By adding additional companies he would have more...

I thought by the title it was on order and going to go in service next year but, it looks like it's already delivered or at least ready to be. We are seeing more of the gray roofs around this area also. Kind of a compromise between the white ones and the black ones.

Nice looking rig, actually it's kind of old-school in many ways. Conventional door compartments instead of roll ups, conventional ladder rack, no raised roof on the Cab etc. Actually, it's kind of refreshing in many ways.

While I do think that the they need exists for high-capacity pumpers, I'm not sure that the need exists for one for each satellite company. Especially considering all the new engine companies are 2000 GPM. The original super pumper wasn't used that often and back then the regular engine...

It certainly shows how much respect she had for the Rank-and-File!

That certainly makes them a mutual aid department that you can't depend on!

Actually if you read the information from E-One that was in the original announcement the wheelbase is 220".

I like the color of the rig but that flag on the front grill is overdone and really in-your-face.

I was wondering about that and look to the specifications they say it's good for 300 miles between charges. Of course the way New York City traffic is that could be about 200 hours on some days.

You haven't studied much physics have you? You can't get more energy out something then you put into it.

Unfortunately, while this was a joke I don't expect it to be too long before something like this actually happens! Between a nationwide push for clean energy, New York's Mayor and the new commissioner it's bound to happen before long!

Has anyone heard how many ambulances they lost?

I'm confused what the TDA support units are for. That's a good description on the site but what they carry sounds like the reason that a lot of companies by TDAs. They carried 148 feet of ground ladders and have compartment space. That's like what TDAs do? Is anyone familiar with how Atlanta...

I like the "Keep Back 343 Feet"!

Actually, it's for West End FD it's posted here: https://www.nycfire.net/forums/threads/west-end-pa-fd-new-heavy-rescue-march-2023.76975/#post-261529

Nice looking rig but other than the paint job I don't see anything that unusual.

I was thinking the same thing, it's going to be an awful lot of office space in the 4 floors above the truck bays of course at least 1 of them may be even 2 will be for bunk rooms etc. but that's still an awful lot of office space for somebody.
