PCFD ENG58

Also one more if /when the Mack scope from MT Vernon is gone!

While trying to enjoy a retirement dinner Sunday for one of my brother firefighters on main st, fire trucks going in every direction all day from local companys and City of Beacon ?

Was upstate conn. today for a truck club meeting at my freinds shop when I noticed a completed truck frame in one of the bays. It looked a lot like my 48 ward and after I asked found it to be CROTON FALLS WARD going threw a complete rebuild. looking good, can't wait to see it complete.

Yes on both as of last year.

Meet him many times when I was driving truck for a living at Ben Franklen store in Carmel He was a funny guy out in the street.

Thanks for the update I will be there on the water to take some great photos of this great ship !

Why whould they send in young firefighters like him at 2am into a bar when they can send old farts like me ?

Ladder 41 ran first due as Ladder 31 Port Chester for over a year while the tiller was being reparied

Motors where left over WW2 on most Maxim,Ward Lafrance,and any other minor builder. They got good deals on war surpulse motors Walkashaw 145 GZB gas inline six's.

If Senate is ladder 41 thats not it, they had a red roof, maybe Croton on Hudson ladder? or did Ossining have two Maxim's at one time.

I have to agree with Barry, I wrote the spec's for Rescue 40 PCFD and it was far more detailed then a engine.

Hold your head up high Joe , your men are proud of you A.J. Sposta IAFF Local #1971 Port Chester Fire

Starwood Capitial as owner of the former United Hospital site made its presentation to the village board this week. Five 18 story residential buildings over commercial on ground floors plus at least two lower ( may be 5 storys ) residential only buildings plus many stores and shops and restaurants. All parking is underground. I know what this will call for my fire dept to do based on were we are now but I might as well open the can of worms and see what everone is thinking ? 16 acres of land and a projected 3 to 5 % increase in population for our village. Ok EMT BRAVO lets here from you!

Well said very well said !

I know the timing wasn't great, a few hours after I posted this we suffered a blow with the loss of one of our own brothers in Yonkers but it is good to see some responces and to think of something else for while, but never forget.

Yes there is a BRT and rail link but is across the street at the Kohls site with a foot bridge across the post road.

Rest in peace Brother, you left way to soon.

The 1980 Amercan Lafrance has a new home ! It is now owned by the Catskill Fire Cats. It is former Engine 63 FDNY reserve Engine 510 and Engine 3 for Aviation Hose. We will take good care of it !

Is that the IKE rig? I have ex PCFD 1957 B-95 #1070

Push this ? change that ? switch to this ? Ops that? Fireground this ? HELLO is anybody there ?

92+ will do it !

Spec'd into our new engine 58 but I don't think we will ever see a new rig !

It is a fact that Yonkers had/has the last two Mack CF made !!

Tried it in Port Chester in the 90's nearly cost the Volly chief his post !

The American Lafrance is a late series 700 with 800 series trim and headlites most likely a late 1957 or early 1958 . the GMC is a 1953 with a 503 ci. gas motor and the B-85s 707 cu.gas motors with 750 G.P.M. pumps are mid fiftes, later ones like my B-95 had full compartments not running boards with boxs put on them.
