  1. For strobes yes, you can melt full size light housings with lots of clearance. Not so for LED's. Even so, with 2 eight head dominators there isn't much punch you could add to the front view.
  2. Westchester County Parade Judges Association. http://www.wcpja.com/ Their rules are on line, but won't help you figure out the finer points of the apparatus category. They will show you how departments score for the line of march and how they get demerits. Apparatus comes down to cleanliness and organization and goes into lots of detail that you learn over time. Windshields and all windows need to be clean (they will roll up a window that is rolled down to check it), driver needs to be belted in and they will open the door to check. They will also open a compartment on each truck. Thye also run a glove along the rub rails and the wheeel arches. Those areas need to be cleaned and waxed just like the painted surfaces.
  3. The SSV package comes with pretty much nothing, it is intended for conversion to municipal service. No carpets, no console, no frills, low cost.
  4. You are correct, this is Car 3 and is the Volunteer Chief. The Ram will be repurposed as Car 7. The other Ram remains Car 4, Volunteer AC.
  5. What do you fix first, the stupid or the lazy?? I always feel bad when people doing the right thing get injured, because it can happen to the safest people. I find it hard to be sympathetic in situations like this. They learned the hard way, and are lucky it wasn't worse. Some people learn things the hard way and get dead.
  6. Not my statement, I just pointed out the height issue. ddoyle is the mm anyday man!
  7. And bay door height. MM wins that battle in many older fire houses.
  8. Never Dull and strong arms.
