Larchmont New Engine

[LFD171 0]

The Village of Larchmont has approved the purchase of a 2007 American LaFrance 1500/500 rescue pumper for the LFD. Delivery should be in the first quarter of 2008.

Will Larchmont FD use a similar specification requirement as both New Rochelle FD and Yonkers FD used for their Engine 22 and Squad 11 requirement respectfully?

It will look very similar. As for the specs, don't know.

Will it be replacing one of the engines (E33 & 34) or rescue 1? Im guessing the rescue but I can be wrong. Hearing that its supposed to be a rescue pumper it got me a little curious as to which piece it was going to replace.

It is not replacing any of our current units. We will be going back up to three engines, which is the way the department ran until 2004 when E35 was taken out of service.

Ohh, I Gotcha. So is it Squad 35? Or would it have to be in the low numbers going by the county apparatus numbering system? Squad 5 is Eastchester I think.

It is not a squad. It is an engine with added compartment space.
