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).

Think B40 relocated to SI on this box. Couple in the overturn on the SI Expressway; E166/L86 went to that and 168 was turned around. Made for a busy morning on SI today.

Anybody know how fast the shop is getting around to pulling these rigs for repairs? Have seen pictures of the rigs still in active service with tape over the cracked windows and plastic bags in place of shattered windows. It's extremely disheartening to see such violence towards public service.

I think they have been getting used for a purpose different than the original intention. Have seen footage of them the past few nights driving around with NYPD vehicles and are quite possibly being used to transport PD around.

What does the department do with these boats during the "off-season"? Are they dry-docked?

I would say that Satellite 1 will be disposed of as it is 4 years older than the other 5.

That's a very quick response for Marine 8 right out of Great Kills Harbor.

Anybody know anything about these? Looked like Ford E-series Type 3s all white with FDNY Ambulance written on them. Numbers on the boxes were 2020 and 2046. There was a total of four of them (being transported on semi's) parked on the West Shore this morning just off of Exit 4.

Anyone have the full list? I personally saw: E253 at 165/85 E331 at 160/R5

There is a ?major? brush fire in Ocean County today in the Pine Barrens. Fire began around 3:30pm. Located off of 72 west of the Graden State Parkway. Smoke can be seen as far as Middlesex County and ash has been falling in Northern Monmouth County...

Don't have the box number off hand but currently have a lot of activity at Leeds and Guyon. E162, 165 L82, 85 R5 Haz-mat battalion, lots of special ems and probably am missing some others.

I'm sure 4 truck will appreciate this... Here is Ladder 4 responding to a call late Wednesday night/ early Thursday morning. They were behind 54 and in front of the chief. All three were actually running their front line trucks as well.

According to department officials the number of vehicles damaged or destroyed from this stands at 91. Can we try and get a full list of all the trucks that were damaged or destroyed as a result of the floodwaters from Sandy? So far we have reports of Ladders: 137, 161, 166, 169, 170 Engine 206...

Well I went to the Garden for the Rangers Game 4 viewing party and decided to take a trip up a 7th ave to see the cage by Engine 26. I wish the weather was a bit better, but it was still really interesting to see Engine 26 in the house and Engine 65 in the street. The only thing that really...

Might be considered a double post, but attached is a shot of 24 with the steerhorns. I think the horns make me like it a lot more, but still not as nice as the old 99 Seagrave. It looks like some creativity was used in making a mount that would work.
