Tanker 10eng

I love the humor in this, and would agree 100% ... BUT John ( R585 )( 642 ) is having the best laugh, he is now 2082.... 2083 is Chief Bill Vald.... as for the White Castle Truck, I think thats what he is using as his Limo for his wedding this spring.... lol

2500 gals is alot for a rescue pumper, does it have any tanker features ? .... ( dump chutes, etc. )

what year was that from ?

2082 - being that I was on the hill the entire time, where did they use 3 inch ???? From E119 up to E118 it was five inch, and the Hydrant was right at the bottom....

Ok, what is the Cab ??? Mack ? Peterbuilt ? hard for me to tell...

I would not go with the IC's size up measurements.... the flat roof I speak of,was maybe 80 x 45 ft ..... the other half of the building was a 2nd story apartment area... Most buildings are designed to meet the " 20 year storm " as a base, and then they go from there... This structure was your normal early twenty's construction were the workers built them to last... full size rafters spaced 16 inches on center.... so once all was said and done, the structure was very solid, but you never know... newer construction with the way things are built, will fail alot quicker...

The structure was solid masonry... heavy ( 1.5 - 2 ft thick ) stone exterior walls, with a stud wall on the inside, then sheet rock. The floors and roof construction were also old heavy floor joists, ( 2 - 3 inch thick ), and the sub-flooring was 1 thick ship lap boards... so over all the structure was well built, as they did back in the day....

Thanks Capt. - being my first time on roof venting, Mark and I did our best... I will say, with the 16 inches of snow, plus the maybe ..... 6 inches of slush and water, finding the roof was tough. I was really afraid of a collapse with the snow load and a fire weakening the structural members... The sight of smoke coming up behind the base flashings and under the copper counter flashing was wild, never thought I would see that... Nor did I think I would see a 12x14 walk in wood shed up there ( with a gas grill, snow blower and other odds and ends ) 3 plastic garbage cans loaded with ice and water, over growth of bushes coming onto the roof, by.... 4 foot, plus spare propane bottles... Building departments needs to look into this type of storage, I am sure the building was not designed to carry those loads up there......

thanks for the infor, I thought they were anchor points, but was confused why they are so high ( they are at the top of the body right ? ) Have you found this is a better location for anchors then down lower, or do you plan on using then for certain operations ? Or maybe...... the guy you have to operate those anchors, is the same guy who works efdcapt's 6 foot tall hydrant ? lol

great hydrant, efdcapt, we have 4 members that can not hit that one... unless they plan on using a little giant ...

Nice looking rig, it will be nice to see it fully loaded and in service, GOOD LUCK with it... Question - the roll up doors - how much interior head room of the compartment is used up ? right now we are looking into a new truck, and there are questions between roll up and swing open doors... Question - picture # 6 - the stainless steel loop, this is for anchoring some type of rope system ? what were your thoughts or plans to use this ?

Looks more like a pizza delievery bag...

yeah thanks alot the Crew from 60 Control, after driving E119 to multiple calls, and then switching over to Tanker 10 for the balance of the night and morning, then back into E119 mid morning, you folks always found something else for us to do, instead of going back to headquarters for..... bathroom breaks, fluids and food... aaaaaaa rest, FORGETABOUTIT !!!! 60 got another call for us... Thanks for being there....

Being an Engine man ( and tanker dude )and my years, all the tricks of the trade for roof ops, are not at my finger tips.... One thing I learned today with the Auto Body Shop job we had, bring a shovel up on the roof with you to ventilate... We had about 15 inches of snow and slush on this flat roof, and trying to cut was not going to work until the snow was cleared out of an area to be cut... Clean a larger then needed as it makes it safer to work on asphalt instead of compacked snow...

I did not think it was a Mack, but is still in great shape.... Thanks guys..

OK, if the " CHP " is in command of all Highway incidents, then so be it.... FD, EMS, need to meet with the CHPD, after the call with the top brass and iron out just what each divisions needs and wants in place prior to performing on a highway.... The Battalion Chief should have the right to say, in order to have my men operate at this type of scene, we require " X " lanes shut down, so that we are safe. They can go back and forth and come to sone agreeable solution... There is always another side to each disagreement, and the CHP has to keep traffic moving, as the FD needs to realize what happens when it is not flowing... My hat is bigger then yours !!

I like the side bed compartment. Is it the same on the other side ? and.... can we see the rear storage area ? Please....

thats a Mack ???? wow I thought it was a GMC OR FORD..

The money earned through paychecks is your salary, you worked hard for it, you have the right to do what you want with it... No argueement... and if everyone kicked in money from their salary, we would not be typing here. But they didn't... In these economics times, when people are being laid off, work is slow, unemployment is high, and cities are being faced with having to cut back on employees, the union really did not think this through. Sure they have an agreement for funds to show honor to its fallen members, and the city had an unwritten rule against paying for alcohol. So use the funds for food and what ever services are needed. The union should of opted to pay for the alcohol from their own accounts. Then there would of been no problems. Look at it from the eyes of someone who is on unemployment or food stamps, and can only get so much money each week to live on. That $ 11K or 7K is allot of money which could feed alot of hungry people. and X635 - the last time I saw that much spent on alcohol was in college at a Frat Party, sorry, I do not get out that much anymore...

man that looks more like a military attack vessel.... very modern... good luck to those who will enjoy working on it, it's got to be a dream...

The photo with the Middletown PD Marine Unit and Command truck ( black and white ) looks to be in great shape for an older truck.... anyone know what make it is, I love older rigs...

I agree 100% here.... was that for a gathering of mourners or a frat party... lets keep it to the matter at hand... I agree about any money being collected through taxes being used for alcohol, regardless if its career or volunteer... Bottom line its wrong... and this time it was from a career department. The union was wrong...

I had that happen once Capt., the Judge opened a compartent door for the 62 Mack I was driving... when he closed it, I stopped the engine, pulled the brake and got out to check that the door was closed.... He yelled at me to get back in the drivers seat, which I informed him that I was responsible for this rig, and I was making sure the door was properly closed....

question: Eng 310, the racks on the upper side of the body ?? it appears to be a pony suction, then there is another " rack " and the back board, followed by web straps below..... what do you guys store in these areas ?

chances are Jim, being a custom cab, it is a 2 seater... but I am assuming, and I know what that means...
