are the 2011 rigs decent or when they came in they had the same issues the 2019's are having ?
The 2011 assigned to rescue 1 had some issues, don’t know about the other fourare the 2011 rigs decent or when they came in they had the same issues the 2019's are having ?
If I remember correctly, Rescue 6 was formed with a grant in 04 for at least 1 if not more political functions. They had the Spirit of Oklahoma which was donated after 911, so they used that rig so they didn't interfere with the day to day of the regular rescues. The only thing at the time 6 couldn't do was dive rescue.R6 is kept for emergencies as these Ferraras are always out of service. R4 R5 are both in there spare rigs.
They do. Im just throwing out the idea maybe they've thought of getting a new rescue rig to be a reserve kinda like how Squad 8's rig went into squad reserve and is used as a spare.I thought that each Rescue had a ready to go spare in their quarters?
Squad 8s old rig isn't being used as a spare. Sq-18, 61, 252, 270 are all in 08-09 pumpers. it was used by SQ-1 a month or so back because they just needed the spare for a few hoursThey do.

Squad 41 had it for a couple weeks as a spare.Squad 8s old rig isn't being used as a spare. Sq-18, 61, 252, 270 are all in 08-09 pumpers. it was used by SQ-1 a month or so back because they just needed the spare for a few hours

Squad 800 is for emergency use (few hours to I believe 48 hours tops) It’s some kinda thing where they require a Reserve Squad Ready to go same-thing with a Rescue. R6 has older equipment than the Ferrara Reserve Rescues.Squad 41 had it for a couple weeks as a spare.
Not Sure.. But, Definitely Looks Like It.Did they repaint the rig too?
Bronco Skylift was already tested. There is nowhere in Manhattan to store it. It was going to cost too much to maintain.Hate to add to the problem but when is FDNY going to consider the idea of getting a Large High Ladder Tower or Ladder for use at High Rise fires?
London bought TWO 64 meters = Over 200 ft., ladders with buckets after examining the need to reach the upper floors at major fires in High rise Building Fires such as the Grenfell Towers, disaster. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

the maintenance costs on the brontos are exorbitant and the down time waiting for parts is insaneBronco Skylift was already tested. There is nowhere in Manhattan to store it. It was going to cost too much to maintain.
Curious but what is the weight of those units? And what about manuverability, didn't FDNY have a problem with those 2 100' ALF apparatus.Ye
