Engine 165

[Sfdc111]

Well I?d have to say it?s official, saw photos today of Engine 165 in a 2010 Seagrave Marauder II (SP10009) 154?s old engine. I?d have to say that?s the end of the speculation as to what will be done with the trucks. Not my photo, found on Facebook, posted by Texaron.

so this means that the squad body apparatus is going to be used as the new squad 154  and the transition has been already started ( by swapping vehicles with 154 ), is that what you are sharing ?

I would have to say so, this truck was the former engine assigned to 154, and is now labeled as 165, it would appear they are swapping the 2014 squad like engine from 165 to 154.

Correct. 165?s squad style rig is going to 154 and 154?s rig is now E165. Now, as for the captain that asked for 165 to have a squad style rig in the first place, back to square 1 lol.

Do ye mean that Engine 165 old Squad Body Engine is now becoming the new Squad 8??? ??? ?

 

[Nasibova]

yes, its becoming the 8th squad, but l think its going to be squad 154

 

[JA290]

It will be squad 8.  Not 154

It will be squad 8.  Not 154

Do you have any solid information supporting that?  Based on recent history calling it Squad 154 seems more likely.

A reliable source reported it will be SQ*8 however no other existing SQs will be renumbered .....who can figure anything out in todays blizzaro FDNY ?

Yes, if that's the case it would certainly be a change in direction but that's nothing unusual these days.

For those who thought l was crazy when l stated that E 165 was going to swap rigs with E 154 ( New SQ Co. 8 ) soon.
It's ok I'm crazy anyway...
** New Squad for S.I. section

It was announced in the paper as being Squad 8.
Also another rumor I heard was that once the remaining squads will be renumbered with the new cad system. Could be just a bad rumor. Any dispatchers can confirm it deny?

Since we all know how accurately newspapers report things I'm sure most of us took leave story about the new squad was a huge grain of salt!

 

[GFD70]

The sign they had on display at the announcement said Squad 8.

I heard a rumor that Seagrave would be building at least 1 new Squad rig. I wonder if the rig reassignment is only temporary until a new one is built. It would also wouldn?t hurt to have a second spare Squad floating around when its all said and done.

 

[Nasibova]

l figured it would be Seagrave and wondered the same thing about the switch being temporary since they said a new apparatus would be purchased.

 

[capthale]

How about there second piece? There going to need a new one too are they going to use a bread truck for now there?s also that hmtu that was being built but no number in it I wonder if that was for a spare

Since there taking away 165 squad style rig I hope they are expediting the order to replace it and I wonder if the other hmtu engines will follow suit

 

[Nasibova]

i  hope  they  expedite it too
