I was just wondering the result of Armonk's Special Election on 4/26. Did the bond pass? The bond was for a new rescue-pumper. I believe the new truck would replace the current 288, a 1991 KME 1250/500. Thanks, Notice of Special Election Armonk FD

I may be wrong but, I think it could only benifit them. The times you listed are approx driving times not total response times. It could take longer if they wait for a full crew. Bedford Hills TL57 (or U13) will usually be the FASTeam, if they are not put to work. I know Banksville FD used to have a ladder. Greenwich CT, does not have a ladder stationed in North Greenwich. It seams that, Armonk, Banksville, Pound Ridge, Vista and Bedford Village don't have ladders. I am sure that in the event of a fire, they can get one. Here is an example: Armonk - Working Fire 3-2-2011

I agree. I think a quint would serve them well. Whats the closest ladder to their district anyway? Good to hear. Congrats to Armonk FD and the North Castle Fire District!

Sorry for the bad photos, taken a long time ago with an old camera.

Thanks!

Does the County Police Marine unit have fire suppression? As for FD's, Mamaroneck Village, Mamaroneck Town, Rye, and Port Chester all have marine units (Source). Unkown which have fire suppression.

Seth, I believe that is the Whelen's version of Federal signal's Rumbler. It is called the Whelen Howler. Both are low freq sirens.
