E88 historically hasn't had a grill number, I imagine they requested to keep with tradition. Also I see that E40 has a white grill number.

Certainly a trade off, maneuverability versus tactical ability. That said getting to a job faster could reduce the need for defensive operations. But, realistically I doubt there will be any change in the future.

I agree, the TDAs have been making a national come back with many cities i.e. Philadelphia, Baltimore and DC primarily using them. Of course the cost and size requirements in fire houses would be the main drawbacks.

On Tuesday, 7/21/20 I participated in my 2,000th run with FDNY.

1 Black, 2 Red and a Green

The ship is the USS Bonhomme Richard, a landing helicopter dock amphibious assault ship (what the Navy uses to deliver Marines in their theater of operations). Firefighting at the base is provided Federal Fire, San Diego (they are part of the DOD) who operate 11 engines and 2 trucks (among other...

Perhaps could've benefitted from a white outline around the blue four.

I hear R4 is getting their new piece this week

I think in the start SOC had a unit for it, but I think it has been transferred now.

It appears from an observer's stand point that the bottom one is scene lighting, the middle one is the actual emergency lighting and then the top looks to be a Opticom, but I'm not really into lights so I could be off the mark.

So I believe that Ferrara now only makes aluminium chassis most likely to streamline their supply chain in a cost saving measure. REV mostly likely now has KME make the Ultra due to them having other steel products on the market, again just merging supply chains. Which is a long winded way to...

So E245 is SP20001 and E88 is SP20003, who will be getting SP20002?

FDNY has a similar policy although occasionally details of an incident get lost (or are never given) between the PD call taker, EMS dispatcher and the MDT sometimes resulting in finding ourselves in unsafe scenes. That said such precautions are a luxury compared to my time in Newark were PD was...

To my knowledge the only Dodge ambulances still in the fleet are at EVOC, I did my driver training in one.

Textbook bailout from that fire, Member from Squad 72, who has personally according to a friend of mine on the company been to more than 10 fires in the last four days. After coming out he went right back in.

So my station currently has two of these buses, a E series and a F series both were spares until these week when one was pressed into service due to a mechanical issue with one of our front line buses. You are correct they don't have MDTs so the unit is also issued a cell phone with a MDT app on...

Very handsome St. Louis lid with it's steel front or as they say there "furnace piece" along with the Philadelphia E72 lid.

I believe they ran 24 structure fires yesterday, I also saw Chicago ran 100 in 30 hours.

I love reading such amazing descriptions of the job, I'm happy to report that whilst I was doing EMS in the 7th Battalion no companies treated us better than E24/ L5.

On our Handi Talkies they split it into three, just like EMS. I'll take a picture of my scan list next time I'm at work.
