In years past we had a 5 HP siren on the top of the building that would blow 10 times every alarm. When the siren needed repair about 5 years ago they decided to go to a 3 HP siren and changed it to 4 times per alarm. Last year we decided to change it to daytime only (8am to 8pm). The siren also blows at noon monday to sunday. We also have a siren on Barnes Lane that hasnt been used in at least 30 years that is a 10 HP, similar to the North White Plains siren that we can hear from our fire house today. JBJ

Looking at the picture of Engine 175 I see that they used Storz LDH back then... when did storz first start to show up in Westchester? Was Fairview the first to use it in the area?

swing by the firehouse for lunch and ill answer all your questions

I like this much better... what do you think chris???

Is their anyone planning to switch to 60 control and/or the trunk in the near future?

I look at that and i think to myself, what would my department do with the same incident. What resources are available in the county for such an incident which is completely possible considering the interstate traffic that passes through every day. Westchester County Airport ARFF apparatus Greenburgh Foam Tender Haz Mat Response Team Tankers Additonal Engines Just to name a few...

Ooo baby, cant get enough of those seagreaves... I'm kinda hungry, i could go for some Cindy B's right about now.

I have to agree with you... But I do not think the call volume would justify a dedicated unit. The way EMS is right now, i dont think we could afford to lose any more buses. In time hopefully this would not be the case. With having dedicated units to the SOC, i wonder if FDNY EMS will ever go to station based ambulances... as opposed to CSL (Cross Street Location).

We run a BLS Haz-Tac bus out of my station (27Henry). I have seen pictures of the new buses that will be assigned to haz-tac and rescue, they are on the new ford chassis.. F-450 maybe. The only major difference from the outside was a 2-3 foot roll up compartment next to the passenger doors. I assume that is where the extra length of the vehicle comes in. ill pass along any more info that comes my way. JBJ 19Boy1

Every time I see Ladder 21 i think of the old Ladder 53. http://www.fdnytrucks.com/files/html/other...er/Purchase.htm If the information is correct than ours was purchased just three years before the village. Love the old time seagraves still in service... Engine 239 isnt far behind made in '78 and refurbed in '91... PCFD Ladder 31 is a '81 TDA... Town of Mamaroneck recently replaced their '79 Seagrave engine similar to Engine 239... Just a few off the top of my head... JBJ

All graphic and decal work for us is done by the same person who did Engine 61... Excelsior uses him for all their deliveries. We have nothing but good things to say about him, he does amazing work with gold leaf and lettering. Pm if ur interested

I second that... it would be nice to see a picture of the 1957 Seagrave magically appear.

YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH RED.. NEGATIVE C-SPINE.. TL-2 ~FR

WELL WELL WELL... STOPGOBLUE.. HOW CAN YOU COMMENT IF YOU WERENT ON SCENE???

being a victim of packing 1500' of 5" on I-684... i dont mind it...

if ladder 26 is a spare... then what is the point of doing driver training on it. if ladder 25 is out of service the career man will be driving it, correct? i see a difference in opinion of what the exact purpose is of this second ladder. i believe that volunteers should have the ability to respond in as the second due ladder in certain situations (ie multiple calls in district, M/A, special call). i agree that you need the membership prior to being able to put the truck into service, but it should be explored. where is 242steve on this one???

i know that harrison was in a similar situation with the career man driving the front waiting for a tillerman. this was solved with the purchase of the tower ladder. at that time only two fireman were on the clock... so one the other would driver the engine... with 3 on at a time now that tiller situation might be different.. maybe next time around harrison will go back to the seagrave tiller.

I applied in Febuary of 2006 and was in the October 2006 class... JBJ Station 19 19Boy Tour 1
