201/65

I had heard talk through the grapevine about the "incidents" in question, but it was second and third hand info, not sure what was fact vs. fiction.    Are they replacing both tankers, or just the one for now?   Oh, and the "acting 914" is the ex-Silver Lake Pierce.   Pocatello/Mt. Hope is still running the Good Will engine.  
 
NJ to AZ.....what's Maplewood doing?   Replacing an engine that's only 7 years old?   Or replacing the Spartan that is Engine 33 and current 32 gets re-numbered?   

 
My best understanding is that two of their pumpers were significantly damaged in accidents in 2017 (1 totaled and 1 totaled to them). The Freightliner was an emergency purchase to place an engine back in service at Station 3 and a used former Mount Hope & Goodwill Pumper was purchased to put a true pumper back in service at Station 1. 
 
They have triplet Pierce pumpers on order to replace the engine at each firehouse. The Freightliner will then replace the 4x4 Urban Interface Pumper as the spare. 
 
The Tanker in production is a replacement of the Station 2 Tanker. 

It's funny, some VFDs are better "staffed" and more adequately covered when they are OUT of town...

City of Newburgh put on additional staff and apparatus over the weekend. I would assume partially because they were on automatic response to some border departments, and they have been burned in the past with locals not being able to crew on Spring Break Weekend.

@Anesti do you have any interior or compartment shots of this rig? Just wondering what they changed around after buying it.  
 
This rig originally served as Rescue 6 in Park Ridge, NJ before being bought by Walden, NY in 1997 as their first rescue.

A quick look at their apparatus shows that their only other fire suppression units are "engine tankers" by their designation, 1000 and 1750 gal. This would make me think that a sizable portion of their district has no or un-reliable water sources. Running a "quint" with only 300 gallons of water would be un-arguably a horrible decision if that is the case. If you are only going to maintain two pieces, then the second must have a considerable water capacity as well. It appears they consolidated a medium duty rescue and pumper into the 2013 replacement as well. 
 
Maybe these gentlemen are just ahead of their time in acknowledging they have no true need for a tower ladder and that a 3/4 of a million dollar ladder truck sitting around is not a good investment.

From what I understand E-One pulled the plug on Nichols dealer agreement back just before the Harrisburg Expo. They were being allowed to continue with some of the projects they had.

This article misses some key parts to this agreement; to cover only Port Jervis and Deerpark as primary, around the clock staffing, and the board of directors for PJVAC was changed from members of the organization to a 3 person board with the membership and each municipality having a seat.

No, I think that would settle it too.

Speaking to some, it seems that their dreams were larger than their budget. They provided ALS/BLS transport for Deerpark and Port Jervis, for a while they were providing only BLS transport from Matamoras due to PA DOH issues, and ALS services to Lumberland. The word volunteer in their name, like so many others in our area, reflects mostly the volunteer board of directors and the paid staff handled 99% of their calls. They did approach Deerpark and Port Jervis when during budget season, however the city wanted to see all the books, setup some checks and balances, and get a guarantee they or Deerpark would always have an ambulance (meaning 1 bus, no go on M/A) if they were to begin paying for their services. There was also some discussion on how much could they provide without having to go out to RFP or bid.
