Bump, This event is this Thursday night, anyone else going?

. Found this link on Radioreference.com

Out and about this week, took some pic's of Scarsdale & Bedford Hills Firehouses under construction. First up Scarsdale FD's Headquarters. From Fenimore Road. From Fenimore Road. Rear of HQ along Post Road. Nice Antenna Tower. Next up Bedford Hills HQ. Looking from Bedford Road, Rt 117. Old & New Sections. New Section. Caption for this picture is: BHFD Engine & Rescue couldn't wait to get in to new section or "Now that we have a bigger Firehouse, we need bigger Fire Trucks, these don't fit." More photos can be found at BedfordHillsFD.org.

I was driving through Bedford Hills last week and caught same different angles of BHFD's Tower Ladder. I thought that Bedford Hill's TL was 57, not 75, as it looks like on the bucket. Maybe there are just too many digits on the bucket .

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the unit from the LI Expo.

Similar setup to what has been on display at the L.I. Fire Expo the last two years. Pictures below. I can't recall what the brand is, but where the cones are in the rear compartmnet, that is a full length slide out tray. Also, in the cab is the controls for the three arrow sticks, right between the seats, nice setup. Front compartment Officers side is a refrigerator, and rear Drivers side compartment is a speedy dry hopper. The chassis is a Ford F-series four door.

My point exactly, but when you look at the top pic, it could be "75" .

It's probably the angle of the picture that I took. The bay to the left (the original two bay bay) is part of the original building and they had TL29 (Sutphen 70'?) stationed there with E54 & 2343 (Duty Officer). The bay to the right is the new addition, and that bay is taller than the original.

This is cool. I came across this at Firehouse.com, read the full article at the above link.

I do not see any single axle ladders at Sutphen.com longer than 70'. Rosenbauer lists two ladders longer than 100'. The Viper series 60' to 109', and the Raptor series 102', which looks to be the Metz aerial bucket.

One more pic posted as the cover shot at EMTBravo.com.

A couple of months ago I happened to drive by this house and was unable to snap some pic's. This week I finally got them, so here they are. The quarters of FDNY Ladder 47. The quarters of FDNY Engine 64. And their relation to each other. They are located on Castle Hill Avenue, Bronx. This firehouse was mentioned previously in this FDNY E45/L58 Firehouse thread. Here are a couple more pics with some more detail. Some additional detail of the L47 house. Some additional detail of the E64 house.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Eight years exactly to the day that "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" was proclaimed. Now the mission HAS been accomplished.

TL42, along with L41 & R14 are at OFD HQ - 21 State St.

Here are some pic's from today's event.

According to Hudson Valley Fire Equipment's website they will be posting photos of the "collision repair" soon.

E99 is my Company, I better be there.

Bump It's tomorrow.

This is a little way off, but the Intrepid Air, Sea, Space Museum is hosting a Firefighter Appreciation Weekend at the Intrepid on July 16 & 17, 2011 (Saturday & Sunday). Looking at last years schedule of events it looks like the blessing of the FDNY Marine Fleet is scheduled for 1100 on Saturday. When more info is posted I will pass it on.

This has gotten me a bit confused. According to Recent Deliveries at Seagrave.com, it looks like this rig is ready for, or has been delivered. The schematics for this rig show a revision to the plan with a date of 01/13/11 (see lower portion of the print) noting a "final inspection". Anyone have more info on this rig?

Here's the link for the Sing Sing Apparatus you requested. The Dispatchers at OFD HQ told me that this rig is driven by outside the walls at least once a week, usually going by HQ.

From MillwoodFireDistrict.org click on the New Firehouse link. From the Schematic Design PowerPoint Presentation see pages 7 & 12 for site plans of this Firehouse. It is a bit confusing where it is situated, but if you compare it to Google Maps when you reference the "overhead wire towers" of the map and the site plan, it appears it will be to the rear and East of the old Hudson Valley Motorcycle shop.

I know I was sitting on a 2 1/2" line on the D exposure roof for most of eleven hours, and I got on scene about 45 minutes into the alarm.

For anyone who likes the sounds of bagpipes, the following is the Facebook link for the 30th West Point Military Tattoo. This event is Sunday April 17, 2011 from 1000 - 1830. The rain date is the following Sunday 4/24, same time. I have heard about this, and seen videos on Youtube, so I may actually go there this year.

bump The event is next Sunday, with a rain date of the following Sunday.
