Happy to help. I'll email you this weekend.

It's all about ego in Westchester... I spent 4 years as a FF in Gettysburg, PA. (gettysburgfd.com). Adam's County PA has 26 departments and is 2 times the size of Westchester. G-Burg had the only aerial device in the county and EVEN ran as the first due truck across state lines to the National Fire Acadamy in MD. Automatic mutual aid is required through their box dispatch format. No one cared about who arrived first at the fire. A typical job had 1 or more rigs from 3-5 departments dispatched on the first alarm. Part of the rivalry/friendship/etc between these departments was trying to be good enough to smoke someone into their own box AND not getting bent out of shape when someone else made it to your job first. Westchester needs to grow up. We play like 1st graders.

Millwood is awaiting delivery in the next 6 weeks of a new engine to replace E-248 (one of the 1982 Kenworth garbage truck chassis twin to MFD's Telesquirt) Spartan chassis with Sutphen box. 1500gpm single stage, 750gal water, 25gal class A and B foam. Sutphen chassis wouldn't fit into main station as the bay isn't tall enough but Spartan chassis is aprox 4 inches lower. The Engine will look identical to E-247 (1998 Spartan/3D)
