Drove around by the dealer and 326 is there. Couldn't make out much more. There were a few other engines in the back as well as a tower. Also of noted a few scrapped retired FDNY trucks were out around the back of the dealer from the side road. A rearmount, a tiller, and tower.

R5 was running their new rig today.

FSD likely means spare pool. 165 had no markings on the rig but where the numbers were for 40 on the doors was empty space.

Signal73 is right. Couldn't really take pictures. It was not the right time or place to start whipping out a camera phone. E165/L85 were out on a special somber moment.

Any issues with these new Seagrave engines? The 2008s that have been replaced are already seeing action in the spare pool. Getting lettered FSD on the back where the engine number used to be and at the bottom of both rear cab doors. E-165 has E-40s old rig.

Not sure what happened to it. As of the most recent photos seen B44 is running a 2011 Sierra with the standard set up.

And of course they put their Q on the bumper!

I've seen them over at the Stop and Shop on Hylan which is way closer. Laughed when I saw them. The guys said it was a long ride but not bad going lights and sirens. The drive back they estimated at 60-90 minutes.

Wonder if these are all going through the Seagrave dealer in East Brunswick NJ? That place was the best place to be around in 2005/2006 when nearly everything was Seagrave. Used to see some really nice stuff there as it got prepped for delivery or was in for warranty maintenance.

I don't know what the usual truck is, but this is a loaner from FDNY according to what is posted on the Mount Vernon facebook page.

Any pictures? Is it the 2002 one? Did the FDNY keep the 9/11 Seagrave medallion on the front between the grill and the front windows?

I'm sure HazMat 1 was really upset having to turn around and not make the long trek to SI.

Did E153 get a call while relocating to E162? They were running lights and sirens down Hylan Blvd during this time.

E161/L81 is 21st bat. Box assignment is a mix of B21 and B23 companies.

Squad 8 is first due as an engine for this. Right turn out of quarters, right on Travis and straight shot down. Actually feel like 167/87 could beat 163/83 to this location as they would have a more direct route to it

Will this be replacing a different company with a 95’ or an additional 95’ to the department? Definitely think the department should still have a few more...

It would be interesting and pretty sure at some point they have done it. PAPD does have a wrecker with some fire suppression ability at each crossing. Think at OBX it’s a new Volvo 10 wheel heavy duty wrecker. They used to have the small Mack trucks like at the tunnels.

Nice pictures. Did you happen to catch what spare squad 8 is running?

Correct on 4’s truck going to 136 for long term spare use, one became the ceremonial and one is at CTS. 81, 137, 169 were subjected to high water during Sandy so they had their trucks replaced.

Satellites are Peterbilt cab/chassis with a Ferrara body (prior generation were Mack/Ferrara).
