I photographed Engine 5 this morning, Hopefully this holds up for them until they can order new equipment.

Thanks to all for the Birthday Wishes.

It is a Mobile Pizza Unit based in Mystic CT. I first saw this in Newport, Rhode Island's St Patrick's Day Parade. I tried looking for this unit in July when I was up in Mystic.

The Bee-Line Bus System is set up with 14 talk groups which we use ten of them on any given day. The System percentage of talk group calls has DOT using 62%, Fire 24% and EMS 12%. Overall System usage for all three combined is 18%, while 82% of this system is unused.

I don't think so. Code 3 is currently working on the 1968/69 Closed Cab version of the ALF 900 Series TDA for FDNY. This has been in the works for the past year and hopefully this will be out by year end or first quarter next year.

Plus all the Motorolas Radio's are being installed to provide communications between the Operator and Radio Control at Liberty. This is temporary until the new Voice/Data/GPS System is online.

I also want to thank PCFD ENG58 for the great tour. I was like a kid in a toy store. I was in heaven. Thanks

Why don't we ask LAFirePhotos when he was employed by Code 3,how he Used "OOPS" I mean Promised many departments that Code 3 would do their department and never came thru. As the official staff photographer of Code 3 Collectibles. Code 3 receives many requests from around the country from departments to produce their apparatus. It is a hard process to choose the right model to make. It has to be appealing to the public and unique. As we know FDNY is their biggest seller and they are currently reaching out to the West Coast collecters. I have taken many photos of different departments apparatus that Code 3 considered to produce but could not at the time. I think Tarrytown's Tower makes a good model to produce. It is different and a great looking piece of apparatus. Joe Pinto

This is Station 5. The White Plains Volunteer Division along with Engine 210, a 1969 Maxim 1000gpm pumper occupied this house. The apparatus was used for parades, musters and fire prevention activities. It did not respond to fires.

The firehouse is currently still standing in Yonkers. I know where it is do we have anyone out there that knows...

Just to let you guys know the film shots were at Station 1 Headquarters, Yonkers and that is my photo on the wall of the Yonkers Rescue and Ladder 71. The photo was taken next to the Yonkers City Pier. Joe Pinto

Mike, The Mack Tower is at the Third Strret house, the new tower is not in service as it went back to service a transmission leak. I was there on Sunday. As far as the former FDNY Mack CF I believe that was DX. Joe

It is regret that this posting be made of the death of former Lt. Pete Lund F.D.N.Y. who served at Rescue's 2,3 & 4. Pete died of a fatal heart attack last night after fighting a fire as a member of the Woodmere Fire Department. Pete was an avid fire apparatus photographer who photos were seen in Fire Apparatus Journal and Firehouse Magazine. Rest in Peace

Currently at Engine 233 is the current Field Comm, the sprinter Field Command and the Mobile Command Unit. They had the dedication of the new LDV Command Center today at Rockerfeller Center. The new Mobile Command Center is rumored to be going to Brooklyn and the second one going to the Bronx. What houses these are going to is unknown. No word on what is going to happen to the current Tractor trailer mobile command unit. jjpinto
