The Yonkers Tillers (with credit to Joe Pinto, FAJ Jan/Feb 1989) In 1979, Yonkers ordered Three ALF Century 100 -foot tillers. Prior to delivery, the city purchased two used TDA's for driver training. One was purchased from Mount Vernon (Ladder 1) and one from Long Island. FDMV's was a 1947 Seagrave and the other was a 1956 ALF open cab. The '56 ALF spent time on the line, as Ladder 74 and Ladder 75 for a time, before becoming a dedicated spare. Prior to 1972, Yonkers ran a fleet of mid-mount straight sticks, which included a 1967 ALF as Ladder 1 and a capped open cab '58 ALF as Ladder 5 at Station 12. In 1972, the city received the infamous white cab ALF 100-foot mid-mount that spent many years running as Ladder 70 on Central Ave after spending time as Ladder 76 at Sta. 11. 1974 saw the first Mack Aerialscope operate as Tower Ladder 1. This was the first lime-yellow rig in the city. In 1980, the ALF TDA's were delivered and assigned to Ladders 71, 73 and 74. These rigs were all lime-yellow. After the infamous purchase of Continental "Compac" apparatus, a 1982 Compac cab was placed under a refurbished 1956 ALF tractor and became a spare ladder (Shop number 61827). This rig was also number Ladder 69. The demise of the tiller in Yonkers began with the ordering of rear mounted Seagrave ladders in the late 1980's. At this time, the last companies running tillers were L-73 ("Supertrain") and Ladder 74. Ladder 70 operated a newly painted white over red 1979 ALF tiller, which became a dedicated spare as the new rear mounts arrived. Ladder 74 became a rear mount in 1987 and Ladder 73 shortly thereafter. Sources: Fire Apparatus Journal, Jan-Feb. 1989 75th Anniversary Yonkers Paid Fire Department 1896-1971

From Officer.com A Philadelphia police officer involved with a scuffle with protesters outside the Convention Center has died of an apparent heart attack. Officer Paris Williams (right), 52, a 19-year veteran of the force, was among many Civil Affairs officers monitoring the protest outside the "BIO 2005" conference at the Convention Center. Police Commissioner Johnson says when a scuffle broke out, Williams rushed in: "He went towards the scuffle, he collapsed. Rescue came and immediate transported him to Hahnemann Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:15pm." Homicide detectives questioned some of the protesters. Those interviews and the autopsy may determine whether any charges could be warranted. Johnson says either way, a good officer died: "He died in the performance of his duty. He died going out there working, doing the things he was supposed to do." Officer Williams leaves behind two grown children.
