We went to Firematic Supply on Long Island again today for a preconstruction meeting and here a some shots of some the sights we saw. Two Car MVA on the LIE West Bound, a couple of drive by shots: Shots of a B.R.A.T (Brush Rapid Attack Truck) under construction:

Oh yeah, now if Tony can get his shop alittle less busy, I;ll get one this week.

wow, what's the status of the driver and occupants if any?

Delivery of out B.R.A.T is mid September, I'll post up more pics when we go down again in August on the progress and the other rigs in for service.

Some random things: FF Kelleher and myself, thanks signman

Some rigs in for service:

Some others shots of on-going projects @ Firematic:

Chassis pics: Ford F-450

Our chassis is in and we are headed to LI in the morning to check out the progress, I'll get some new pics to post up upon our return

Wassaic brought out Big Blue for FFI class @ the DC training center so I brought along my camera to try it out. Thanks to Lead Instructor Bill Marshall for letting me get some shots of the class on vehicle fires and the instruction of the evening. Red Hook's new Pierce Pumper/Tanker 58-13 Instruction: Big Blue being operated by Wassaic Safety Officer 69-95 Lester "THE SIGNMAN" Herow, yes he is our Hero

Nice vehicle, me I like the simple less extreme looking chief's vehicles, I am not a fan of all the bells and whistles displayed which are usually a total waste of $$$$$, give me a simple layout with lights visible 360 degrees and reflective striping any day, thanks for sharing and another excellent job by SWS

Steve I actually like the chevrons there, I think it is great placement, thanks for adding the pics and the Old Sayerbrooks rig was awesome, well thought out and laid out.

Thomas great stuff, thanks, mind if I copy our rescue picture for our website?

thanks for sharing, hey don't worry the photos look good, a camera phone is better than no camera at all.

great looking site, very easy to use, thanks for sharing and good luck with it

thanks for sharing, great first due photo, can't beat those.

Nice rig, nice color and it looks like a Pierce Contender, hope it serves Esopus for many many years. As far as the rear Chevron colors, although they are not NFPA compliant (may not had to be if ordered before the deadline) it matches the rig, we are having the same discussions on our new rig, keep the stripes to match the apparatus or be NFPA compliant, I think we are going the NFPA way, god forbid there is an accident and the chevrons aren't red/yellow.

thanks Dave, looks to hold alot of equipment, I heard that you guys may have purchased a set of super single wheels for the unit?? Thanks for sharing the pics

One of our officers is attending

thunderstorm here at this time

It was a nice evening and the weather was perfect after the heavy rain we had enroute to the training center. The sky was awesome. Again thanks Bill for allowing us out to help out and for me to take some shots. Spanky Dean you make us proud, even if they call you smurf at class.

Bill, click the link below, it's the program that is provided here on BRAVO to reduce the size of the pics so they don't take up some much storage space, part of the program allows the user options of different effects, the program is Irfan View, hope this helps and thanks for the kind words, still trying to figure out the new camera, making strides, umm maybe baby steps is more like it. http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=26915

Being stored there

Some final random shots:
