From today's Journal News legal notices: Hastings-on Hudson accepting bids for a new engine and a new type III ambulance

Hey Steve, did HHFD ever get permission to order the new E-46 or an ambulance?

From the Journal news legal notices 8/1/07; Sleepy Hollow approved $64,100 for a firefighting vehicle as well as a new ambulance. From the Journal news legal notices 8/2/07: West Harrison FD seeking bids for a "fire/resuce" vehicle. I think the SH one is for the Utility or Mini Attack unit that has previously been discussed here. Not sure about the WHFD one though.....any info?

Most recent county apparatus list shows that Katonah has reserved Ladder 39 and South Salem has reserved Ladder 66. Anyone know if these departments are buying new trucks? If so, good luck to both departments with their first aerials.

E-39 is not being stored with us at LFD. No plans for that in the future either.

Saw this rig on Wednesday. I'm not usually impressed by ambulances, but wow! http://public.fotki.com/lfd171/westchester...tambulance.html

Nice Truck http://public.fotki.com/lfd171/westchester...s/car_2071.html

Quoting this months FAJ magazine, Yonkers has apparently approved additional fire apparatus to include: (This is in addition to the current units that are about to be delivered) 2 ALF pumpers (For E308 and E309) 1 new Tower for L71 New Collapse Unit New Foam Unit New tractor for the HazMat trailer New Field-Comm unit New Command Post Unit 2 Buses for Special Ops 2 SUV's New 23' Boat If anyone from YFD can confirm these it would be great. Yonkers should have some impressive fleet by the end of the year!

The Village of Larchmont has approved the purchase of a 2007 American LaFrance 1500/500 rescue pumper for the LFD. Delivery should be in the first quarter of 2008.

It is not replacing any of our current units. We will be going back up to three engines, which is the way the department ran until 2004 when E35 was taken out of service.

Here is the new engine. Looking good! http://www.tylerfire.com/newdeliv.asp?ID=P...e+Rescue+Pumper

From today's legal notices: Somers accepting bids for a mini pumper/brush unit

From today's legal notices: Hartsdale approves $550,000 for purchase of a 2000gpm pumper.

Journal news legal notices from 7/24/06 show that the county is accepting bids until 8/18/06 for a new "Haz Mat Response Vehicle." Anyone know if this is to replace the current unit, or perhaps a second piece to the unit?

From Journal News legal notices 7/24/06: Village of Port Chester approves $725,000 bond for the L31 purchase.

From today's Journal News legal notices: Village of Irvington approved $526,000 for the purchase of a new Engine 177. Also appears that a new chief's car was approved.

The November/December 1999 issue of FAJ has a photo of a 172' Bronto Skylift on a 10 wheel drive chassis at the Stuttgart Airport in Germany. I know that Calgary has a Bronto in the 150' range on a 8 wheel E-One chassis. When I lived in Washington DC, they had a 135' straight stick (L10), which is the biggest I've seen in the states.

U65 is a 1995 U66 is a 1997

Yes, it is still up and running. I still pick it up just fine down on the Sound Shore. The signal is not as strong as the previous one. If needed, the PL is DPL 243 Hope this info helps LFD171

Yesterdays Journal News legal notices advised that the fire district was going to vote to approve $505,000 for the new Pierce rescue pumper. for $505K it should be pretty impressive!

Larchmont had a similar event this past weekend and we had a huge turnout from the community. DPW, police, fire and ambulance were all represented. It is a great place for discussing the department with perspective new members. Great PR!
