  1. I'm gonna say rosendale fire dept, in ulster county.
  2. I see on firetec.com that brewster is selling there 2000 ford F-550 brush truck, I forget the number because they have 2, but I was wondering if they are replacing this with anything or just selling it and not replacing it because after all it does only have about 3000 miles on it! Also, how many chiefs cars do they have, and any antiques? Thanks in advance guys! http://www.firetec.com/detail/MP-8980.html
  3. Just wondering if brewster ever sold/replaced their 2000 ford f-550 brush truck? Dont see it for sale anymore. Thanks again, steve
  4. Our tanker is the same as otisvilles it is a 10 man cab and is lucky to roll with 4 guys (including the driver). Ofcourse it is our last due truck.
  5. Looks like it is just an addition (nothings will be sold) and it responding out headquarters according to article on website.
  6. they should still have that mack pierce pumper for the vollies.
  7. Did ulster hose F.D. sell one of there kenworth/pierce engines? Only one is on there site.
  8. Does anyone know if maybrook fire department still has the toyota tundra pick up that was donated to them as a chiefs car or did they let it go? The only reason why I ask is I work in maybrook and have not seen it in a long time, just courious. Thank you for your time, steve.
  9. Does anyone know if Briarcliff Manor FD still operates that 2003 Ford Expedition as a spare chief's car or utility after their new Tahoe was delivered or did they sell it? Just curious. Thank you for your time, Steve
  10. I saw on Lake Carmel's website a 1949 Ward LaFrance and if im not mistaken I think I saw it at the warehouse on 302 in Circleville. My question is did they (the company, department, etc.) buy it back or is it privately owned? Thank you for your time. Steve
  11. I tell ya that was a smart move keeping that f350 and using it as a runabout, we bought a 2010 f350 and we use it for everything, it really does come in handy. Nice tahoe by the way!
  12. What is going to happen to the ford f-250 4 door, maybe a utility?????????????
  13. When a guy drives a truck for a living all you have to do is go look at his driving record with the company he works for and look at his work truck. Those 2 things should tell it all and obviously his attitude. When you get a CDL, YOU are considered a professional driver, I dont know if you have ever taken a CDL written test but it is over 100 questions and pretty intense, the test will make you think. Im not gonna get into it but ive been through EVOC and the NYS CDL program, which one do you think is tougher to get through? Some departments, I know of at least 3, require you to have a CDL to drive, It weeds out and lessens the chance of an accident thats all im getting at. My personal feeling, its just mine and I know im gonna get crucifide for saying this but to be a driver in the fire service in NYS you should have pump ops, EVOC and a CDL or at least an endorsement on your license like CT does, LET THE HANGING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Yea but, today in our local monroe area paper they said he took the rig out to get cigarettes. There was no call and he was not on duty. The reason I say inexpieriance is because if he took a sleeping pill then he should know enough not to take the truck out every sleeping pill says on it do not drive or operate machinery and to add to that I see all these kids that cant be more than 20 years old driving these things, granted he was 30 but still. some agencys out there need to have a tighter harness on there evoc, in my department it is a very long time before you are let go to drive. You are not let go until one of our in-house instructors who have been driving for years and have there CDL's (my father is one of them) says your ok. I have friends in other agencys that have not driven anything bigger than an accord drive a 45000 pound vehicle and it scares the bajeebas outta me.
  15. Well I guess they'll be gettin dropped by there insurance company, 2 wrecks in less than a year. I have said it in my department and will say it here, this is what happens with inexpieriance and not having driven anything bigger than a toyota camry, you should know every bit about the vehicle and how to drive the vehicle before even putting it in drive, (which is another joke, but thats for another forum).
  16. I thought you guys were gonna try to hold on to the 1969 ward being that it was your first new truck and all?
  17. With all the bad and upside down in this country alone today this is what people are worried about? If a cross means that utah endorses chirstianity over other religions, this is what people are sitting down and talking about? wow........wow.
  18. What kind/type vehicle is 63U5? I know that U-97 is the gator but I've never seen or herd of 63U5. Just courious. Thanks steve.
  19. Hey lad56der do you have that photo of 2190, thanks for the speedy reply by the way!
  20. what is 63U5, an old ambulance, pick up, utility truck, etc....?
  21. Oh thanks for the speedy reply. Good to see cottekill got that truck they needed it that old ford was tired
  22. So in other words it dont matter if the fdny big wigs like ford dodge chevy GMC Etc wherever the bid is lowest that is who there going with? If that be true no wonder they are going with dodge (drips oil drips grease everwhere)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Does anyone know for sure what will happen to the current E-151, the 1990 E-ONE, once the new ferrara goes into service?
  24. Does anyone know what will happen to the current E-58 once the pierce PUC goes into service? Selling im guessing?
  25. I thought I saw it on firetec.com I'm sorry I didn't do further research, but how many 1989-1990 blue pierce dash pumpers are out there, with blue rims no less? I'm sorry, my mistake if you want to see the truck go to firetec.com, pumpers and it is about half way down. Come on now it does look like your truck. Thank you for your time, thank you for the prompt response, stay safe -Steve
