FDIC international; indianapolis IN

Doubt you’ll really ever see them pull stuff from SI. Anytime there’s an all hands or greater SI needs relocaters from BK or further…

Yes and no… it was not originally purchased to be a squad but it was built off the same exact spec. The current 2013/2014 squads are identical; they just served as squads from day one in service. I guess this brings up an old point that was probably discussed and beaten to death… squad 1 was...

According to their site: Tremont ave in the Bronx, Bensonhurst Brooklyn, Babylon long island, oceanside long island, the three on staten island, manasquan nj, manalapan nj, florham park nj, and cranford nj. Also you can order online and have your order delivered to your doorstep ;)

Surprised PD didn't launch a helicopter to try and help locate.

I know this is a little off topic but ST17002; TL 120s rig on the back of a heavy wrecker headed towards the Seagrave dealer this afternoon. Was next to it in traffic on the SI Expressway

Brand new chief buggy, brand new engine, and a VERY old spare for 108.

Makes you wonder could the FDNY cut down on those SOC second pieces (SSLs) with truck companies? Would think the cost of the TDA if it could take over for two pieces makes it a cheaper option in the end...

That few feet is a huge amount of difference for a lot of locations in the 5 boroughs. Honestly the way it is getting we might end up seeing the Tiller make a comeback!

Definitely a smart move to get a second one on the island. And 77 puts one on the North Shore. Turning radius? Great to see all these companies wasting no time to get to work on customizing their trucks.

The 2001/2 Seagrave with the boom salvaged from their 1999 Seagrave that was damaged on 9/11? Interesting. Thanks.

What happened to 273? Why do I not recall what happened to their front line rig. Judging from the videos I have seen of them responding in a 2008 spare... looks like a long term set up for them. Their regular truck is due for replacement anyway. Isn't 163 getting a new rig? Also are they in a...

Idea is to prevent SQ01 from constantly traveling the Verrazano... those EzPass bills were getting quite expensive lol All kidding aside it is to keep the SOC units more readily available to go on the -75 or greater. Not to mention the size of response zones for SI when you are going beyond...

Is that combined between FDNY and the hospital systems?

Totally bringing an old thread back... Even though dated this shows for SI 22/23 that there are around 11 FDNY ambulances for the entire borough? Is there a way to figure out how many Voluntary are there from each of the hospital systems to augment that?

This explains why I saw E241 on SI with the lights on going somewhere... they were relocated to 160 and probably caught a minor run.

Feel like the spare fleet is usually pretty rough and there are always issues with maintaining a healthy spare pools for any fleet (not just FDNY). Squads, Tillers, etc only have like one or two spares. The 75' towers should finally be seeing some relief as the 2010s are being replaced and...

R5 running their dedicated spare rig; the 2011 Ferrara

That part I never knew! I never understood why the department would try it out at a different house if 85 fits the truck, is more centrally located to provide that 95’ coverage to the entire island and the only reason they were changed to a 75’ (from what I was told) is that front line rig was a...

If memory on the 2000s at Ladder 85 is correct... If I recall correctly the issues with 85 were that their 2002 Seagrave 95' was a lemon. They were constantly in a spare as that truck kept having frame issues (believe it was cracked frame). Rig was finally taken out of front line and put to CTS...
