Is 241 getting a new rig or not for a while yet?

Yes they are. I was told the truck has been built, no idea what the hold up is for though.

Greatest fire dept in the world and there’s companies with 14 year old rigs. Amazing.

Who has a 14 yr old rig from the date it was placed into service to current day?

There aren’t companies still riding around in front line rigs from 2010?

Yes, they may be classified as 2010 but a handful of the final rigs of that batch of 2010's did not enter service until mid to late 2011. Engine 222's 2010 was on display at FDIC in March, 2011, part of the final batch of final pumpers for that group.

231's current rig a 2010 Seagrave, SP10028, was on display at the NJ State Convention in Wildwood in September 2011. It didn't enter service until the end of October 2011.

Yes received it at the very end of the year. From what I was told either a hold up on warranty parts/issues or priority over other pieces pieces such as the TL/New Sticks. This could be incorrect though not 100% certain.

There are other "great" and busy fire depts. that are in a lot worse shape with their fleet. We are lucky that there is an ongoing replacement program for the rigs.

What are TL/New Sticks?

 

[Nasibova]

What are TL/New Sticks?

TL = Tower Ladders. '' Sticks '' = means straight aerial ladders, ( rear mounts / tillers ). The make is Seagrave. ls that what you mean?

 

[t123ken]

I never heard anyone in the field refer to Aerial Ladders as Sticks.

 

[AuxWarYearsCapt]

I never heard anyone in the field refer to Aerial Ladders as Sticks.

Even back in the war years rearmounts were called sticks. They were great for venting. Put the stick thru the window..

 

[ExChief-551]

I've always referred to them as sticks through my years on trucks.

 

[1261Truckie]

In Brooklyn during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s I always heard the aerial referred to as “the aerial” or “the ladder” (I still do to this day). It wasn’t until I moved to Texas in the early 90’s that I heard the aerial called “the stick”. That was new (and alien) to me.

 

[Nasibova]

Here in PA through the years, 70's until present, l've heard several times on scanner '' put the stick up''.
