    No Problem, I just like seeing all the cards on the table, so we can make educated opinions.
    I think $100k is about right for the work you listed in my opinon.
    I be willing to bet, R14 is going to get quite a bit more, I will inquire and post.
    Stay safe,

    I think we need to better define " Cascade ".
    Thats a pretty generic term that does not describe the capacity of the equipment and with a "Cascade," capacity is pretty important.
    A standard "Cascade System" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage Cylinders ONLY
    A "Cascade with Booster" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage with electrical or pneumatic pump to boost low pressure to high presssure.
    A "Compressor Refill System" - A High Pressure Pump usually (6000 psi) which fills High Pressure Storage Cylinders
    If anyone has a different type, please feel free to add.

    FYI
    Utility 147 was acquired to be a prime mover for our support trailer.
    It is also going to be a driver training vehicle for any one starting to train for an MPO position.
    Right now only 21 year members can train to be a MPO.
    This is intended to allow 18 year old drivers the ability to start training on a larger vehicle
    without damaging a front line response unit.
    Once properly outfitted, at the discretion of the Chief, it may be used for storm duty.
    Original cost on this vehicle was over, $105,000.00
    We acquired through surplus for $3700.00

  19. msm232 liked a post in a topic by M' Ave in Larchmont FD Goes Out Of Service To Cover Yonkers   
    This situation is a disgrace. The handling and management of resources in The Village of Lachmont is hollow. They are a career dept., which is understaffed. They have few volunteers and they've spent decades reducing the relevance and responsibility of that outfit. So, what you're left with, as with many of the local "combo" fire departments, is an illusion of safety. It's a great big gamble that the politicians typically win. Luck eventually runs out.
    What has happened, twice, recently in Larchmont is an indicative of 2 problems:
    1) Many FD's in Westchester lack any semblance of adequate staffing. This is a problem that some have tried to address through a regional consolidation plan....but no one has the stones to see it through, not to mention the fact that many are entrenched in guarding their own little fiefdom...
    2) In this example, in this municipality, it appears that a serious lack of judgement was made. The residents of Larchmont pay some of the highest taxes in the NATION and they should expect the fire protection they pay for. What? Everyone was just so excited to go Yonkers they shut the lights and call the TMFD? This is gross-negligence in management. If someone died in a house fire in Larchmont, I would expect the LFD chief to go to jail. The LFD's first responsibility is to the residents of Larchmont. Mx aide is important to give and receive, but if you can't continue to perform your primary duties, you can't perform them for another municipality.
