Kinda random but does anyone know what the specs are for the GMC’s as far as the trim level as well as the manufacturer of the bed cap?

1 block south of EMS Station 15. Am I correct that E63 was once housed there?

The FDNY and PMFD have a long standing mutual aid agreement for this street. If I recall, one side of the street is the city, the other is in Pelham Manor. The same applies to Park Drive, and a few other addresses in that area. More often then not, the PMFD gets dispatched first and 60 Control...

You're right. My bad. Foggy memory. We spend around $1,000 to fill up our on board tank whenever we empty it.

Ready for some foam fun facts? ? A sealed container of foam has no shelf life. Once you dump it into a rig’s tank, the clock starts. Foam concentrate will harden from its gel form. I’m wondering if that plays a role in tank size. Cost also factors in to it. A 5 gallon bucket of Universal Gold is...

I should have clarified, the Ferrara service shop is located at 120 Industrial Ave in Little Ferry NJ. As far as I know it is a satellite shop for the Ferrara factory to handle warranty work and many northeast deliveries pass through there for final prep work before being delivered. I think it...

The shop is located at 120 Industrial Ave in Little Ferry NJ.

Most manufacturers will quote at least a 365 day build time (time of order to delivery). Some are closer to 14 months. Pierce for example has 3 different build lanes based on the type of rig (8 month/10 month/12 month). I know KME was over 400 days last I heard. Not sure about Ferrara. Ferrara...

Who outfits the pick ups for the city after they are delivered?

FDMV had a failure of L-2's aerial at a fire recently so its OOS. They also ordered a Pierce Ascendant TL demo unit. Not sure if that is to replace the Aerialscope or as a 2nd frontline TL. That will be FDMV's 4th new Pierce this year (they already took delivery of 2 engines and a rescue).

According to Seagrave, the 75' and 95' Aerialscope's have the same turning radius. Does anyone know what the difference in the overall length is?

Is that a Con Ed employee with the tan gear and red helmet in the bucket at 4:19?

Looks like a pretty good bow in the “D” side wall along the 1st floor on Google Street View. Even bent out the down spout. Not to mention a few thousand extra pounds of gym equipment and Im sure a few beari g walls removed to have an open floor plan. I

I meant as in the manufacturer builds both the cab and body ( and aerial for the ladders). If KME builds the cab and Ferrara builds the body its technically not a single source rig even though they're both under the REV umbrella.

Interesting. I thought the FDNY required a single source manufacturer to build their rigs.

I wonder if that spells the end of Ferrara building for the FDNY. The Ultra chassis was Ferrara’s only stainless steel cab. Unless they begin to offer one of their cabs with a stainless option I don’t think they’ll meet the city’s specs.

Does anyone know of an online link to the FDNY's Unit Location Map? The map I'm looking for is the one posted in various FDNY houses and facilities. It includes all of the individual houses as well as being color coded by Division and Battalion. It also lists the locations of specialized units.
