The new Pierce Saber will go to Camden Fire Department Squad 7.

Also saw it on several sites that KME has been awarded the bid, and Seagrave has been awarded the bid for the new squads, tower ladders, and tillers.

What about when FDNY 82/31 kept going to the most infamous Alarm Box for false alarms on Charlotte St. in the South Bronx back during the War Years.

Ya' never know.

Yeah, right. I wish I could find the picture, but there was one of a Camden, NJ Engine tied into a hydrant, with dark, murky water leaking from the hydrant, and a pool of dark, murky water underneath the engine from the hydrant. Which is why you should never drink from hydrant discharge or engine discharge.
