When Squad 8 was formed they were given E-165 rig. E-165 now carries E-154's 2010 rig

Why. Is Squad 8 getting a new rig, there currently using a 2014 model and all the other Squads have 2013 model rig.

New company, new rig.

New company, new rig.

Will they change the striping to black like the old one?

It's really sharp, I was lucky enough to see it in person and I was very impressed. The attention to detail is stunning. Very feature has been thought out.

I would have through that the Striping would have had black in it

 

[Rachammer]

anyone know what the difference in specs are with the current squad 8 (the old engine 165 haz tec engine) and the other squad spec. rigs from 2013? Are they pretty much the same or is there a huge difference?

The new Squad 8 (SP21001S) has the same Rescue Pumper 1000 gpm pump and compartment/hose bed specs as the earlier 2013/2014 models.

Any pictures of the new Rescue 1?

There is a separate thread for the Rescues

I hope so ... anything to deflect from those chevrons

I hope not. I did not like the combo at all

They aren't designed to look good, they are there to increase the safety for the brothers, that's what really matters! How the truck looks is only for members of departments that don't do much firefighting! Safety and functionality are what matters.

Shops won’t do that. Members have to

same truck

Because the 2014 they have wasn't spec'd as a squad it was a Haz Tech rig

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 the original in Brooklyn and then the 6 others (18, 41, 61, 252, 270, 288) were formed in the late 90s… will those all change to squad 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? Otherwise E154 should have just went to squad 154.

 

[Skyler Fire]

They tried to replace all Squads but only 1 was approved. They do not have a current good spare/Reserve Squad so this current 2014 will be the Reserve Squad 800.

Good point, but why wait so long ?

I doubt they will change to those numbers, and no clue as to why the ''8''.

8 might have been used since S.I. has Div. 8.
