Any update on engine 79s rig? Is it totaled or will they be able to fix it?

Yeah its totaled, previously reported on the thread for the incident pretty sure.

Fix it? Really?

They could probably salvage every rear of the cab, electronics in the pump still worked but the cab was completely burnt out

I’m not FDNY but I’d be super skeptical of salvaging any parts of that pump, the heat it’s been exposed to, especially electronics. I can see pulling the whole rear fire body off. It’s inevitable someone’s engine will get damaged and they can replace it. Or at the least pull all the compartment door and interiors out.

When I said everything rear of the cab I was more so referring to rear of the pump, but before they cut the batteries to the pump the electronics were still on, though I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near that pump when if it gets turned on

The body past the pump with the hose bed and compartments might be salvageable

Haven't seen anything either way. The big thing is going to be if the frame was damaged by heat. Plus total repair cost vs a new unit. In the past FDNY has bought new major pieces for a unit and put it back in service. I'll see if I can find the picture, but they've bought a frame, cab and running gear from Seagrave, and put a boom, and body on it from its "totaled" predecessor, and sent it.

Speaking of, I'm unfamiliar, what is the purpose of the blue light?

They say it is much easier to see from a distance like yellow is also. I think that is the case

It has been scientifically proven for decades that the various light colors are interpreted by the eye differently by time of day as received by the rods and cones in the eyes. Red is much better for daytime and blue is better for night. Secondly there is the issue of contrast
When approaching a scene on a highway where fire apparatus are operating the sea of red taillights from braking cars blends in with the red lights from the fire apparatus and the blue light creates more conspicuity making the recognition of the emergency vehicles much sharper especially from a distance
