Where do you hear such nonsense?

i think it was on a podcast but not sure where i heared it the department told his station they couldnt do it to there rig and he still went and did it maybe it was before his retirement

Interesting, no "cinquantacinque" graphics

Some companies do them immediately, some wait abit of time. Graphics are usually done in the firehouse so whatever the cost is they got to save up for in addition. (Rear Mudflap Graphics, other decals on the rig). I don't see why they wouldn't get it.

My dept allowed some customization on the rigs, but the numbers were off limits due to being visible from a distance for the command post to be able to see.

Caught Earlier today. Engine 1 Just installed a Q Siren on their 2023 Seagrave! Sounds Great & most importantly gets people out of the way!

What’s wrong with 24s truck, they have been in a spare for awhile?

Not sure, but it is a Ferrara so it isn't shocking to see it out for so long. I think if I remember correctly the chauffer saying it’ll be out for a good amount of time.

“Keeping Mechanics Employed” won’t see those rigs as spares…

E-52 had accident when a car cut in front of rig. Otherwise that rig has been in service most of the time, this is definitely not a rig that would keep the mechanics employed. Damage wasn’t bad guess they are backlogged on parts for repairs.

In the new Fire Apparatus Journal, it was quoted FDNY has placed orders with Seagrave for additional apparatus:

41 pumpers (on top of an existing order of 10)
8 squad pumpers
7 high pressure pumpers
Total of 30 Aerialscopes (75 and 95)
48 rearmounts

*The first of 11 tillers is due by the end of this year.

So, does anyone know how many pumpers are in the order currently being delivered? (On top of the 41/10 just ordered)

How many Aerialscopes are in the order currently being delivered?

The 48 rearmounts are on top of the 55 currently in production? (Considering these new orders have to be 4-5 years out)

48 Rear mount ladders on top of the current order of 55, that's a total of 103 trucks. Does this mean that the ladder companies that are receiving new rear mounts now will be replaced within 5 to 6 years allowing for newer spares and completely removing the farraro's from service?

The production time for new apparatus is through the roof. Good chance they won’t be delivered for at least 3 years
