Here are some photos taken by Gus Stretz and myself of new apparatus deliveries received in Westchester County.

You may see it in their parade in two weeks

Attached are a few more recent deliveries and a few others caught in good locations

Attended my FDNY Honorary Fire Officers Business Meeting and Dinner last evening at the FDNY Fire Training Academy. Got there earlier enought to photograph some apparatus.

Not yet, hopefully soon

Took advantage of the beautiful morning today and did a little catch up of FDNY

The old and the new Ladder 50

The color photos were taken by Gus Stretz and myself.

Overall the new Code 3 Marauder II model of FDNY Engine 63 is about 95% accurate. There are a few minor mistakes but overall Code 3 did an excellent job with this new mold. I cannot say the same for the American LaFrance TDA of the 1968 closed cab or the 1960 open cab version. It's a shame as this could have been one of the best releases Code 3 would have done to date. I don't think you will see a Diamond Plate release from Code 3. Over the next two years they will be concentrating on the 1/64 scale models.

For my Canon 20D and XTI I use a Canon 18-200mm IS lens. For portraits and up close photography I use a Canon 60mm Macro Lens. I also have a 18-55mm IS Canon lens. I use the 18-200mm 95% of the time when photography apparatus or at fires.

Went to photograph Greenville's new Squad 15 and thought I would share Greenville's whole apparatus fleet. Squad 15 is replacing Engine 151.

Here you go the new apparatus deliveries for Yonkers Squad 11 Engine 309 Ladder 72

Got a chance to get the appartus in service. While at Station 11 I rephotographed the Collapse Rescue.

Early this morning I tried to post a picture of Yonkers Foam Unit and received an error message. Then I tried to delete the post and its not letting me do so. The system is getting an SQL error and it must be coming from the Sequal Server.

Yonkers FD has one of the most up todate fleet of Reserve Apparatus in the County. The apparatus are fully equipped and ready to roll.

Here are the latest apparatus delivered in Westchester County. Want to Thank SteveOFD and Seth for assistance today with Ossining.

Thanks Angelo

Today at Playland, Westchester County held its annual Fleet Day. Yonkers FD had a massive display of equipment which many of those attending stopped by and vied all their equipment. See below

Nice turnout from the Westchester Volunteers, and I would share some of the apparatus that was in today's parade.

I plan on attending the parade. Could someone fill me regarding the parade route. Thanks

Engine 150 will become the spare and I passed on Rescus 29 and realized after putting the whole departemnt up I should have photographed this unit. I have it in my files and will post it later.
