True, but we also all know that it's better to take a little longer getting there then not getting there at all!

Nice looking piece of equipment however the write ups says it can do 63 mph! I certainly wouldn't feel very comfortable going that fast in that boat!

Obviously a case of operator error easier and set up or overloaded at extension! He will lose his equipment operating license for sure.

While I certainly agree about the communication needs of such incidents I don't think EMS needs their own dedicated field comm unit. The FDNY comm units have all the EMS frequencies in them and coordinate both the fire and EMS at major incidents. Any major mass casually incident is going to...

? Seems like all the videos that were posted have blues on the back!

In that case I would say the provider would be Rescue 1 since I'm assuming they would be the one with the contract. Could be an interesting scenario the other way around however if Seagrave bid the trucks and subcontracted the bodies.

I would believe that a lot more than them removing them! Safety is a critical issue and the blue lights certainly increase the margin of safety!

I'd be extremely surprised if companies are removing or blocking them! I'm sure the bosses would not be happy especially if a rig got into an accident and they found that they had removed or blocked some of the warning equipment! Have you got any examples of companies that have taken them off or...

That's true but I still believe that the warranty has to be covered by the provider, Seagrave or Ferrara in these cases, I wonder if Rescue 1 would be willing to do that?

If that's the case then they will never build a unit for FDNY because of how the specifications are written.

Like it's a big deal to have a tillered ladder truck! I suppose in a small town like that it may be but they are certainly standard issue in most larger cities! Great looking rig but...

They are not as blinding as strobes etc. but the blue stands out more because of all the other lights on the street are mostly red and orange. The blue that you not any brighter, it's just a contrast that makes it more noticeable!

Probably not for 1st alarm companies in their home areas but probably still helpful for re-locators. Even though the boxes themselves do not exist in most places they still reference a specific area which can be very helpful.

I actually hadn't heard that name before but by looking at their website they make some pretty nice looking equipment of just about any size! I wonder if they would consider bidding on the new rescues for FDNY? If anybody know what kind of chassis they use or will they use just about anything...

Did they run out of 6's for the front? :p:p

The problem is even if they are in the light Bars they have a much smaller server figure compared to the large rectangular ones on the rear of the vehicle. The large rectangular ones are much more visible!

I suppose that's possible but all of the new rescues have 1 of the 2 large rectangular lights on the back Blue! I would've thought this would've been the same because they said that they were doing that because the blue with what's more visible in traffic.

Are all the departments in the area fully paid are there other volunteer units that are not part of the mutual aid system?

Any idea why the lack of blue lights on the rear? All the other rescues etc. have had them recently!

Most of these top 10 videos are nothing but click bait! They really don't do a lot of research when putting them together and in a lot of cases they are nothing but advertisements for the companies that make them. 343 and FirefighterII are superior to all of these in almost every aspect except...
