Hard suction has to be at the ready , can cn be on the rig or at the Firehouse on a rack in the bay .

You are right about " Hell in Bucket," remember Tower Ladders and Buckets where brand new at that time and they never saw one before . That saying has meaning on that rig.

Grateful Dead logos are also on Port Chester Tower Ladder 2 ,They have been there for 38 years when they where givin to us by the band after they went for a ride on the old Tower Ladder when they played the Capitol in 1972 down the street from HQ. Watch out for licencing infriction.

How much did this Engine replacement cost with the lost of funds from the first mess [ not F.D. fault] total $$$ ? also good luck with new rig.

This is a project that I have been wanting to work on for some time. As time passes on some of our younger members are not aware of our apparatus history, so to do a test I will ask a question to see if the history is being saved. This is for fun and is not to make any one look bad . If you are a older member and know the answer hold off till we see what kind of answers we get . If you don't know me I have been restoring fire apparatus for over 37 years and have 4 rigs at this time, I also have been a firefighter in Port Chester for the same time. Lets start out with this #1 What company was the first one to install a diesel motor in a fire apparatus in the US and what year was it done, again this is for fun and to help pass the time and if you like it I will post one every week and see how smart we really are !

Wow that killed 20 minutes of winter, but the answer is right ! If anyone has a Question that fits this thread and the answer , PM me with it and we will use it for the next availble one so I can have some control over it . Lets use SageVigiles for the next Question.
