Croton Engine 119 Sneak Peak

[Remember585 815]

We went out to Clintonville on Tuesday and Wednesday this week to check on our new rig.

It is coming along nicely. I have to tell you all that the staff at Seagrave has been nothing less than cooperative and helpful. Anything we brought to thier attention has already been or is going to be corrected / changed. The rig is quite impressive to see in person after seeing it only on paper for almost two years. I am more than confident that the new Engine 119 will be as dependable and useful as the current one, if not more. We are still looking to take delivery of it sometime in June. Lastly, thanks to Carl and the crew from Excelsior Fire Equipment, you have worked with us so well and have been so insightful during this process.

Pictures are up at www.engine119croton.org from our recent trip. Here's one to give you "the basic idea."

Some basic info about the rig...

Seagrave all stainless steel construction

10 man cab (seats 8 with an storage compartment in place of 2 seats)

1500 gpm Waterous pump

750 gallon water tank

10 KW Harrison hydraulic generator

8 Total FRC floodlights

Plus more.....

With the completed graphics that truck is gonna look amazing! And I also like the fact that they went with the conventional doors vs. the roll up doors.

Looks like the rig we wanted from Seagrave. Good Luck with the new Engine 119!

Just a question, the piping going up from the pump house on the panel side to the front of the hose bed, is that a preconnect?

In answer to your question Izzy - Yes that is a preconnect, there are 2 2 1/2" preconnects on the rear, 3 crosslay and 1 trashline

very nice shots. How come you decided on the conventional doors rather than the rollup doors. With the roll up doors the truck would look more like a rescue pumper, the rear of the new truck looks more like a a tanker than a rescue pumper, anyway I wish you good luck with the new engine, the old one will be sorely missed.

[Remember585 815]

We opted for the "traditional" doors over the roll-ups for a few reasons.

1. They take up a fair amount of space at the top where they stow away.

2. From others we've talked to, they have a habit of coming back down when you don't want them to.

3. We took into consideration that we may want to mount things to the door, and that can't be done with roll-ups.

There are two roll-ups though, simply because they made more sense where they are. You're right, it does look like a tanker (sort of), but in order to store all of the equipment and hoseloads we wanted to achieve, this is how it looks. There will be another storage compartment on the driver's side at the top, should be done very soon.

[Jared1979 19]

It makes alot of sense to me the explanation about the way the rear of the rig is designed. Well I hope this rig serves the community for many years to come. I hope to see this rig at many parades as well.

Nice looking truck, I was surprised to see it in Lake George. Unfortunately I missed the parade, it was it Queensbury, but I found out too late. Here are two quick photos I was able to get before it was taken away from the Convention site:
