Thats a nice looking engine....I wish my hometown (Norwalk CT) stayed with white for there last purchase......and Even tho I like there Marion's who wouldnt want to see a Seagrave running around in town

that looks like a Suffolk county esu rig heres a story from first responder with a pic of their rig Suffolk pd esu

Darien Post 53 Ems runs I.L.S fly cars...known as the 50 unit..that runs with the ambulance or before it.

O thank God that he is ok.

Ive known Neil and his family for a very long time....this is a shock to me....I will be praying for him and hopefully visiting him at the hospital real soon...

using that hand line on that fire is like shooting an elephant with a BB gun...it just does not do the job.....how about a 2.5...or even better the first due engine pulls up in front of the structure and uses the deck gun and blitz attacks the fire. personally I would have called for more water for "a big water attack" and a truck company for the aerial(stick of bucket) and used the ladder pipe(s) to knock it down (i do understand that this is somewhere in NY and a truck co might be far away) and another thing...and no air packs and some members without proper PPE? thats so unhealthy and just plain stupid these days...look at whats burning and what the smoke contains from the by products of incomplete combustion... do I really need to say anymore...?

Don't worry LT, your not the only ones they treat like Idiots....

It looks like 2 electric siren speakers, a Q siren and 2 Air horns

hey Nate at least I Learned something....lol..

That fire was burning in acesss of 1000 degrees, to warp that steal. If the fire reached temperatures in excess of 1500 that steel couldnt support its own weight. Its Just amazing how much heat those trucks let out due to the fire load.

here is a video of them using it to knock down this small car fire

just got home from a friends house after a drill

In the article, where it states that the cop/firefighter hooked up to a hydrant is just a wrong term. I think the author was trying to say standpipe.

RIP

The Firefighters put their emotions before their duties!, they are there to protect the lives and property of all who live in or pass through there district. But I guess some people had other agendas. I hope this can be resolved in a manner that the public wins the fire protection they need; and that the firefighters down there are happy.

I wonder how many feet of ground ladders those Trucks carry up there in Boston

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Bad Idea

Darien Fire Department has one CF Left in their fleet, Tower Ladder 43, which holds some historical value being that it was one of the first scopes built for new england.

ok will do, thanks

I can not directly go to emtbravo.net from my links. I have to go through emtbravo.com in order to get here

Rosenbauer/Metz. is the ladder up there

RIP.....May God Guide You To his Kingdom

CT and NY are pro board states

Norwalk has a few cars that have the Whelen Liberty Bars, at night the whole bar is lit in a dim output. The rest of the cars have whelen Freedom bars that only the ends are on, and the older cars have whelen ultra LC's or 9Ms Where there is separate bulbs in the end of the bar that light up.
