That is a beautiful truck!

Here's their 1988 Arrow. Man, looking at these old Pierce towers, you can't help but be struck by how MASSIVE the ladders were. They're almost as tall as the truck itself!

Very impressive. What's in the box/ladderboard??

[res6cue 67]

I'm guessing the stokes basket and/or backboard, same as ours.

As good an excuse as any to attend their Open House this year.

9-Tower was delivered yesterday shortly after 6PM. I was visiting my grandparents in New City when they put the tones in announcing it was there, so of course I had to take a ride down to the firehouse. Here are 3 videos I took, photos will be posted soon !

Holy sweat! I will be out to shoot that soon!

Ya know, I was never a big fan of Rear Mount Towers (Besides of FDMV L-3) But that rig turned my thoughts about em the other way around and that right there is sick rig.

Although Mid-Mounts are still in the #1 spot on my list. (Rear Mounts in the second spot now)

As much as I like their new truck (and Pierce rearmounts in general), I like our Pierce midmount a whole lot more.

Great photos and a Beautiful Pair of Rigs! Any word on what will happen to the old 9-Tower? ANd that is a BIG Aerial Device.

Thanks!

Thanks for putting them up, I was just getting around to it tonight, and saw they were up. Thanks again, hope you all enjoy 'em!

PS. Jimmy, the box on the ladder is supposed to house a stokes, hooks and some other tools.

Beautiful rig and beautiful photos! I've got to get up to Rockland more to shoot...I want that rig in my lens!

I'm also curious what's going to happen to the old 9-Tower...it seems to be in great shape.

The existing 9-Tower was listed for sale on Tyler Fire Equipment's site some time ago. I could be wrong, but I think it had already been sold. Not there (on the site) anymore, so maybe it has?

[FDNY 10-75 640]

Sold, to another department. As of last week, it was still running, because they weren't supposed to move the new Dash. However, dropping some names and being polite helped get it placed where we wanted it.
