FDNY 10-75

High Falls, Ulster County is expecting delivery of a Rosenbauer Tanker any day.

There are a half dozen of these Stewart & Stevenson mil surplus trucks in the cache now for use as high axle vehicles. Photos on my website.

Croton Falls Utility 28 is sold. New tanker on order with delivery around the end of this year.

This is despicable and disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves for penny pinching at the risk of the resident's lives. Unbelievable. Brothers in Local 1971 Stay Strong!

Greenville E704 the 97 KME formerly of Bryn Mawr, PA is listed for sale.

These got stuck in the snow (and King Andy didn't like that) so they have ordered new 4x4s that will mimic the FDNY high axle vehicles much closer. Theyre delivered but not completely upfitted. 3 of these were originally lettered for NYSP, later stripped and repainted black to match DHSES scheme. 2 Others are DOT yellow with the DHSES logo on the door.

Bedford Hills will purchase a tandem walk-in heavy rescue, most likely Seagrave.

Did Scarsdale get a new pumper or did I just miss this? (In the background): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152519514092005&set=pcb.306780056192622&type=1&theater Edit: Looks like it is new: http://www.spartanerv.com/delivery.aspx?id=55782 2014 Spartan ERV MetroStar - 1500/500

This is a very serious situation, The Union and the department are doing everything in our power to keep that company open. If they close, everyone suffers. #SaveLadder1 Latest information provided by our Union. https://www.facebook.com/appfal2007

While this isn't a rescue pumper, the difference shouldn't be so dramatic. Tools and all this was 347k from the same manufacturer, it's not fancy but it certainly gets the job done.

Nice stuff!

Happy birthday!

This wasn't overlooked by the apparatus committee, this rig was designed to go to a different firehouse with a solid floor. The new administration has other plans for it...

City/Town/Municipality/Dept: FDNY Unit designation/identifier: Engines Chassis & Body (or Aerial) Manufacturer and model: TBD Pump size, tank size (water/foam), aerial type & length: 2000/500 Estimated delivery date: 2013- Status: Out to bid Notes: Three year contract calling for 91 total 2000gpm pumpers with 500 gallon tanks. 38 to be delivered the first year, 48 the second and 5 the third. Bidders include Seagrave, Ferrara and KME.

Great read. While we're talking about Andy, why are companies still using combination nozzles for structural firefighting? The facts are all there about solid stream nozzles but I almost think some places refuse to believe they are superior or they're in complete denial. You see departments purchasing the 'latest' TFTs or Akron Brass combination nozzles because they have this gizmo or that. Sure, they have their place but not for our bread and butter structural fires. I believe that most of these newer fog nozzles are nothing more than a way to make a buck off an (almost) obsolete product.

RIP! What is wrong with people?

When the state and local COs do it up here it's usually related to an inmate with a medical emergency.

I have only seen 2 'large' scale studies comparing the use of the Lucas II and manual CPR, one was conducted in Europe, the other in the US. The European study indicated that there was almost no difference between mechanical and manual CPR in ROSC. While some people view this is a negative result for the Lucas, I have to disagree; citing, that the device frees up an extra person at the scene. This enables that provider to perform other interventions (while CPR is in progress) and should the patient be transported, less manpower is required to take the patient to the ED. With the Lucas and a transport vent in operation you can literally transport an arrest with one medic in the back, whereas with mechanical CPR you would need at least two people. It frees up resources in EMS systems that are already limited. While a matter of convenience for me or any other provider doesn't justify the price tag, it is an exceptionally helpful device when working an arrest. The US study did indicate improved outcomes in patients that received mechanical CPR coupled with an impedance threshold device. It's not clear to me why Physio doesn't push the use of ITDs with the Lucas to improve outcomes but it ma have to do with copyright, advertising, etc. The Lucas 'haters' never seem to cite this trial conducted by the AHA.

I don't want to hijack Andrew's thread by reposting anything else that he may have shot but I don't belive he shot these while we were out and about. 999th post!

It's a new Lenco Bear, larger than the BearCat units and similar in size to the POT (Photo observation truck) unit. The 'roof racks' are hydraulic platforms for officers to make dynamic entry to upper floors of a building, plane or give access to other elevated areas.
