Can you elaborate on the rigs he said would be replaced in the next 3 years? (i.e. What companies will be getting the new rigs?)

I belive the reason why most of the WPFD's fleet has commercial cabs is to make repairs easier for the city garage/shops, as all of the city's trucks/DPW fleet have commercial cabs as well.

I believe the exact make/model/style of the rig is unique to White Plains, but there are many aerials w/commercial chassis out there. Most I've seen are single-axle quints, like WPFD's old Ladder 34. By the way, is that Station 2 on Ferris Ave.?

Engine 52 is what the DCFD calls a "Water Supply Unit". I believe there are 6 of them(1 per Battalion). I'm not sure exactly what they're used for. Reserve Engines in D.C. are in the 60's to 70's number range.

Nice pics! The Chief looks to have a somewhat unique helmet on.
