Many VERY GOOD nights at medic 1... and the instant punch-ins at PVFD were nice after hours LOL.. 81-85 responding!

conman, Woodstock also has a nice little brush/rescue type vehicle (67-42) at Zena station that the committee might want to look at, as well as Ruby who has a nice one on the Ford chassis as well. At least they're close. Too bad that the Chevy medium duty chassis is toast- that would be a nice chassis to build on.

Ex - Arlington (Town of Poughkeepsie, NY) Engine 1 / 3 / 32-16 (Station 4) before retirement in 2001.

They should talk to THW models about making a 1/50 scale model of that beauty.. they're supposed to make a PUC soon anyway!

Whats worse about the whole situation is that they are laying off most of the personnel.. not even detailing to different stations. Most have a contingency plan but it still sucks. Now the crews at Kobelt will primarily be handling the specialty trips from WMC and doing scene jobs as well, so the ripple effect is tremendous. I have a feeling Lifeguard will be handling a lot more scene jobs in Dutchess/ Putnam/ Westchester.

Hey you stole my desktop background! That's no fair! Oh and before anyone gets their panties in a bundle- credit to the multiple photographers whom took those pics.. mainly Ron Bogardus aside from mine. I wouldn't want to see any lives lost from that

Another Seagrave coming?

Easy there animal.. LOL

They should send some guys from HVVFA to go pop them in the face OH SHOOT!

Does Cold Spring still have 13-5-1 ?

A lot Best of luck to Co. 61.. beautiful truck!

This truck was ordered far before the new 1901 revisions became reality The truck is VERY nice Here's a little teaser- awesome photo if you ask me

A couple of pics of 40-10 from the NYSAFC show.. nicely layed out truck with a nice cab layout, it should serve them well Holy high hosebed! The compartment under the forward facing rear seats in the cab is completely transverse- that's a whole lot of room!

2008 Dodge Durango ALS Fly Car Purchased from Warnock Fleet (state bid) Cabinetry by Woodchuck Cabinetry and Woodworking (Poughkeepsie, NY) Lettering by The Graffix Shop (Cali.) Electrical and lighting by "Da Shops (Poughkeepsie/ Phoenicia, NY) Replaced a well worn 1998 Ford Exploder

That's a muffin fan which circulates air ducted through the drugbox and spare medication cabinets. A vent is seen at the bottom of the rear bottom drawer. That way if the A/C or heat is on the drug box cools/ heats.. as well as when it is under shoreline power. There is also a wireless thermometer mounted inside of the cabinet and readout in the cab so that the Paramedic assigned to the vehicle can make sure he/she keeps the temp. within the accepted parameters using the A/C / heater.

Aww thanks Seth Don- Vic only taught me the eye of the Jew... l'heighem!!!

Yep

LOL... yeah man why not! Contrary to popular belief I may do a little firefighting once in a while up here too It'll be nice to have an aerial closer than 25 miles away though

It was actually (relatively) cheap compared to most conversions.. I'm sure you could make a case to the commissioners I think it would make an even nicer Shandaken Captain's car, but apparently the bean counters aren't too receptive to that idear.. Oh well.. a couple more years in the Exploder won't kill me..

It's a Havis roof mounted spotlight which is controlled by the driver inside.. A lot easier to use than an in cab handheld spotlight. It's an LP12 bracket mounted on a swivel & slide out toolboard. The idea was to be able to have a spot to operate the monitor underneath the cover of the rear hatch (out of the rain/snow/crap) during MVAs/ fire standbys and rehab ops/ etc.. We do have a dual battery MBSS which is going on the back wall of the Driver's side cabinetry that works off of the shoreline and 12v system (ie. works while plugged into shoreline power then switches to 12v while vehicle is started) Instant death to the first one to say "blue lightbar" BTW

Probably E 40-10, That looks like a NICE engine... that cab appears that it has a forward facing rear seat arrangement.. I'll have to check it out when they take delivery. Didn't happen to take a picture of the rear hosebed did you? Ach- the tanker looks nice.. is the tower in service yet?

I can attest to that.. definately miss it down there!

So I guess Stephanie is back in town huh?
