The light tower is nested directly over the center compartment between the second A in Wassaic and the T at the end of District, (see photo below outlined in black). There are extra bottles carried in the tilt out box behind the SCBA but the day I took the photos the Lieutenant had them off to record the bottle info from, that compartment as stated will most likely be reworked and made higher and the SCBA most likely moved to another location, there looks to be ample space on the passengers side to make a wheel well compartment to hold the spare bottles or other things such as flares, etc. There is a tool regulator and hose with the air hammer.
As far as the CO response an Engine is also dispatched but being it is out of service and we are awaiting the new Engine our Tanker is dispatched and has packs on it as well but there is no room to place the fan at this point (very limited compartment space, see photos below), once the Engine arrives things shall be back to "normal" as far as what goes to what calls, the reality is at this point equipment is here and there and not ideally located under normal circumstances.

I truly think rhino lining is the best coating for everything. You could probably use it on cribbing too. Its grippy and protects the wood. I use that s*** on everything and it has not failed yet.

Oh yeah it was a "test and tune" day so there was quite the mix match of vehicles on the track, here is just one of them. All these photos are linked back to my website where you can see more.

I was recently invited up to the Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY to check out the emergency services operation there. Here are a couple of quick shots of their primary ambulance, a 1993 Ford F-350 Life Line former with Berlin, NY.

Here's their safety truck former a MA Bell Phone Company Truck with 125 gallon water tank that is propelled by nitrogen. They have a second pick truck with some basic safety gear that I didn't get to shoot this time. They are planning on purchasing a real mini pumper/rescue in the near future. Needless to say it was a fun visit and am I planning on going back up there next summer.

Also got a so-so shot of a bald eagle over the track - I'd never seen one in the wild before!

Very interesting and well present photographs, that well represented the teamwork and thinking outside the box this call required.

At a recent parade, I sat directly opposite a NYSP Trooper on a traffic post.
EACH and EVERY time, the stars and stripes passed by, he saluted with the most crisp salute I have ever seen. Many of the bystanders commented on it as well...all were impressed by his actions.
Well Done Trooper, remain safe.

Lakeville just about dumped their station as did Sharon, CT
