Changed as far as not being Tower ladder 78?

Rockland H&L is expecting Delivery soon of there New American Lafrance Tower. Eagle Cab and Chassis, Very Similar to Tarrytown's Tower Ladder 78. And Yes it will be in there signature Springfield Maroon. I heard 8 weeks. Hear it might be designated "17 Truck", Since "17 Tower" is Hill Hooks Metz.

would love to get one of them, used to be big in the Jersey Wetdown's......slacked over the last few years.....any info? Oh and by the way, Have a good feeling that these will be sick!!!!!.....awesome guys doin everything.

Thanks Mikeinet http://www.malvernefd.com/home.html

Don't know the Firefighters Name, was watching Channel 7 news before and saw a Piece on a Malverne L.I. Firefighter that was killed this morning. During Routine Sunday Morning training he was on top of the Rescue and it was pulled out without knowing he was on top of it. He was crushed by a "Beam" supposedly. Don't recall all info but low Garage door clearance was reason, crushed in-between Truck and Building. If more information can be obtained would be appreciated. He was a 6 year member of the Department.

I am a fan of them myself. The visibility through the Windshield is Awesome, also have to agree with Seth love them even more after the Re-design. It's definitly different, Bridgeport Conn.'s are good looking rigs.

Town of Ossining, New Castle, and now Elmsford...Hopefully it start growing on people more. Black and White is Sick!!!!!

Ossining Runs 3 Chiefs Vehicles: 2001,2003,2005 Tahoe's. Also Have a "Spare Car" technically like a Utility which is the car that was just replaced (1999 Tahoe). Assigned to Deputy Covering, Use for other Firematic affairs. Thay keep the car being replaced every rotation for the Spare.

Simply........Nextel Sucks........

nice,nice...........

lol......yeah pretty much

Simply if u inconvienence people's lives at all.....YOU.....are Personally held accountable by these a*******. The Funny Part is they think u actually wanna sit there and do this PD or FD. And Izzy the only knowing one way home thing is Completey True. I was at Mahopac's Parade and this Women was Screaming at the Carmel Cop about how she needs to Get to Brewster and this is the Only way she knows and that this is a Huge Problem....bla,blah,blah. He tuned her out so good it was hilarious.

Ahh.....its ok, they know its a Glorified Good Humor Trucks............Since they Call ours the Boars Head Truck............."Got Bologna"

If certain Departments would obey the Transmissions it would work!......Happened During the Tornado aswell, and Every other Storm that hits the area.

Wanna Bump this...........Awesome post!

Wish my Department would take these calls more seriously................ not a "Routine" Call.

Ossining Taken Home Best Overall, Most Men in Line, and Best Color Guard, Brewster: 2nd Best Overall, and Something else? Croton Falls: Best Engine Under 10, Best Engine over 10, Best Rescue Ball Pond (New Fairfield, Conn.): Best Tanker East Fishkill (Tower Ladder): Best Overall Apparatus Mahopac Falls: Marching Trophy?, Best Antique Mt. Kisco: Best Ladder Best Ambulance: Putnam Valley All I can Remember.............Somebody have the Complete List?

pretty much as I know it, there has to be an american flag (obviously) and a minimum of one guard, carrying anything or not (not sure which side he has to be on if there is only one). If there are multiple American flags there has to be two guards (one on each side). if there are multiple flags (Ex. State, POWMIA, Dept.or Comp. flag.) the American Flag has to be all the way to the right (as if u are in the colorguard, the left if u are looking at them from the front). Banners I believe are optional. Also if not mistaken all Guardsmen have to wear all matching Items, Citation Cords, Silver or Gold Collar Brass, Badges. Etc.

Disagree, Depends on the Department. There are Departments in this County that Bust there Asses to win and they see work........Simply Pride and Honor?, Also maybe showing the Taxpayers that there $400,000 piece of Apparatus they Purchased 5-10 years ago is being taken care of and mantained and not just kept looking like a hunk of Garbage. This is really concerning the End of the Statement. And Yahoo's? maybe just Dedicated Members, Yet agian depends on the Department, not going to say that there aren't some out there that should concentrate on more than "Social" Events. I disagree with the Siren during a "Dress" Parade with the exception of maybe the Host Department (Alittle noise within reason isn't that Horrible). And Yes there are Rules for Disqualifacations of certain Judging Assoc. on uses during Dress Parades.

Kinda varies to each department. My Departments procedure is usually new one every two years, goes to the head chief and they are passed down by rank (Chief to 1st. Asst. to 2nd......) After the 6 years as a Chiefs Vehicle its become the "Spare" or a "Utility" Vehicle....Then from there Back to the Village for whatever they wish. Last one (1997 Expedition) went to the Water Department as a Confined Space Operations Unit. Get ur Moneys Worth out of them. The Trend thats seems to be happening is the Get new when u go in and keep it till u go out.

And it goes ON.......................AND ON.....................................AND ON................

Montrose has them on a few rigs, like them alot, depending on the color. I think it should also compliment the paint scheme.
