What?! They need the 3rd Battalion staffed as the call-back chief on most multiples, and now they only want one BC for the whole city?!

Didn't the Mt. Vernon mechanic/shops try to place it into service as a Foam unit but never did?

And the current Foam 1(Now OOS, I believe): http://x635photos.com/displayimage-42-1.html Photo by x635.

I believe the only two ISO Class # 1 fire departments in the State of New York are Syracuse and White Plains, correct. Also, the only ones in New England are Milford, CT(not sure if it still is), Hartford, CT, and Cambridge, MA.

Good find. For those who don't know, Ladder 53 is a 2001 Spartan Gladiator/Marion/Aerialscope, donated by South Carolina after 9/11. It first served as Ladder 105 out of Brooklyn I believe. The company itself cannot leave City Island in case there is a fire on it, hence the lowest number of runs for a Ladder. Engine 70, on the other hand can leave the Island, but because of it's location, also holds near if not the lowest number of runs for an Engine. Both companies, in the 20th Battalion and 7th Division are quartered in the only FDNY Firehouse on the small, somewhat isolated island. City Island Bridge, a small bridge connecting the Island to the mainland of the Bronx.

Wow, so if say Engine 58 pulls up on a worker all alone, he has to wait for the volunteers to arrive before he can do really do anything?

The Camden FD will add their seal to the doors, I believe.

The new rig is now completed and is being prepped for delivery in the upcoming weeks. http://1strespondernews.com/webpages/popup/index.aspx?img=/Resources/Pictures/News/Web/ArticleImages/052912126-A.jpg
