Although brush equipment was added to the vehicle it was never intended to be used off road. We just wanted all of our brush equipment on one rig and being equipped with class A foam it worked out well. Class A foam can be used on car fires, just not flammable/commbustible liquid fires. There are Class B foam and dry chemical extinguishers on the rig for fuel fires. MA-32 would not be used on underground parking structure fires.

White plains is working on a shop built collpase unit (Utility #1) using an old engine, similar to the Yonkers Unit. The equipment is in and the work should be completed in approx. 1 month.

Livingston Hose Company, Dobbs Ferry Fire Dept. had a canopy cab version, I believe it to have been approx. 1941 Model, Placed in reserve status when the 1963 Maxim was delivered and retired in 1977 when there Seagrave (presently reserve engine 49) was delivered

what level of training do the members of this rescue/engine have and what rescue disciplines will they be able to perform, ie: collapse, trench, etc.

I don't understand, how putting a hurst tool on any vehichle makes it a rescue company.

No one in White Plains has heard this.

one member told me they don't wear there waist straps so when they get entrapted they can get out easier. I pointed out that in all probability the loose straps is what will get you entangled in the first place.

Sorry that was a typo. Ladder #34 is in station #7 (not #24) the reserve apparatus is put into service when a line rig is in the shop for repairs. These rigs are fully equipped and ready to go. They are also used during a fire or other emergency, off duty members are called back and they put the reserve rigs in service so we can release mutual aide as quickly as possible. Most of the rigs are on Ford L8000 or L9000 chasis with the new rigs being mounted on Freightliner FL80 or M2 chassis. This is done for ease of service as all white plains fleet vehichles are service in the same shop.

Con Ed will not give a ETA because they found if they told you they would respond in approx. l5 minutes, at l5 minutes and 5 seconds the F.D. would be calling them back and every 5 minutes afterward. Con Ed did attempt to equip. several response vehichles with lights and siren but there application to the DMV Commissioner was denied.

there are several companies still on the books in White Plains: UNION HOOK AND LADDER CO. NO. #1 FIRE PATROL CO. NO. #1 HOPE ENGINE CO. NO.#1 INDEPENDENT ENGINE CO. NO. #2 (DISBANDED) EASTSIDE ENGINE CO. NO. #3 SOUTHSIDE ENGINE CO. NO. #4 CHATTERTON ENGINE CO. NO. #5 these companies have not actively responded to calls in years, as someone accurately states they were at the propane truck explosion back in l993, (date may be incorrect). They have trained over the years to keep there 2% status. Last year the majority of the merbership have been trained as "CERT" responders. The Robertson Ave. Firehouse was closed in approx. l969. The rig that they use for mainly parade purposes is a l969 Maxim, EX. Engine 68 and now Engine #210 the engine was rebuilt by Ward 79 in the late l980's mainly recieving a new hose body and painted cab. Several of the companies meet at Sta. #5 others meet at: Hope at sta. #2, Eastside at sta.#3 Southside at Sta. #4 they all have there own meeting rooms.
