[attachmentid=2498][attachmentid=2499][attachmentid=2500]Here's a pic of our new ambulance. It's a 2006 life line superliner on a E450. Tell us what you think.

yeah I through some pics of our 4500

Thanks guys for the great responses. Me personally I love the color maybe becaused I spec'd it out! I'm trying to get my boss to let me repaint our 4500's all maroon! Seth to answer your question we went away for the 4500's strictly because LINK AIR RIDE SUSPENSION! IT IS THE WORSE RIDE WE EVER HAD! after numerous CHASSIS revisions and lots of money "they won't give anything for free even if it is their fault" they still can't get it right. Other then that there have been no real major problems. I left out for you guys the back chevrons are reflective striping that we now have on all our trucks. This truck will replace our 2000 Braun slant side this is in need of a rest. [attachmentid=2508][attachmentid=2509]

efd, The ladder is actually from harrison not boston our old ladder had replaced the last macboston they used. The first one they bought was from boston. when we replaced it to get our tower it was donated to nys fire academy and after some service there it was retired and the macboston group purchased it. I have see it awhile back and everything we left in there is still in the same place and you can still read harrison fd in the paint on the tractor other then some rust it still looks the same.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! EMTBravo.

actually the fire was on 9/10-01 on sunnyridge rd. about 8 or 9 pm the house was struck by lighting we had some lighting storms that night. the house was well involved prior our arrival due to no one being home at the time and fire was already blowing thru the entire roof when the engine pulled up. we had just about everyone there that night it turned out to be huge manpower issue due to the heat of the fire and the warm weather, ems was sending alot of men to the hospital that night I was one of them. the next morning I was woken up with a call that a plane crashed into the trade center and I was back to work and in the bronx within a hour.

well harrison ordered a gmc yukon(from what I was told gm won the state bid) I'll post pictures when its ready and we'll see what you guys think

Our 2005 seagrave

Harrison Fire

White Plains ESU

I look at it this way if i fall from an aerial ladder a helmet injury is the least of my problems its the sudden stop i'm worried about. But really if you fall from any height i would worry more about the rest of the equipment i have on like a scott pack, handlight, any tools in my pockets or a hand tool. Then again HOW MANY OF US USE OUR CHIN STRAPS? for a helmet to stay on while falling.

Nobody likes maroon whats the deal? white over maroon with silver leaf and chrome rims

I don't know if your interested I know where the harrison 63 seagrave tiller is. It first went to the nys fire academy and was then bought buy the macboston truck 18 group for a rolling fallen firefighters memorial. check out the link http://www.macboston.com/

what i learned in this bussiness is there are 2 kinds of firefighters the ones who do the minimum and think they know it all and have the mentality that training is a waste of time, and the the ones who take it serisously and are always training, at the station or classes. i think the main problem is that even though training is madatory we as fd's don't enforce it because we don't want "our" friends to be mad of lose a person if we make them do it like were suppose to. we are suppose to train for a reason OUR SAFTEY!

i forgot to add that sometimes the county does have the ff1 week long day class but they are rare. But the main problem is that the state needs to hire more instructors to run more classes at the county and not 15 haz-mat 1 classes they tend to forget about the other classes the state has to offer. if camp smith can run all these other classes that are never offered and they are smaller space wise why can't the county do it then. i think that's the main problem all the classes 60 gives everyone has them, we need more options. ok i'm done ranting now

i like the idea but how many of us can afford to take off a week unpaid and who in their right mind would use their paid time for training even if its needed unless your one of the lucky ones that have 5 weeks vaction and had nothing else to do. But i can see training going up if there was a law that would make employers pay>
