Zone 4 Cause And Origin Truck

7 posts in this topic

Is Zone 4 done with their Response Unit, formerly a Somers Ambulance?

It's been sitting at Grasslands DPW Garage for a while now. I also notice the old style NYS passenger vehicle plate?

That old somers rig has been retired and replaced with Verplanck's old utility.

That is indeed an old Somers ambulance as stated. That was before they were known as ambulances, in those days they were designated as "Rescues". If I remember correctly it is a late 80's Medtec Ambulance. It was designated as Rescue 38.

After the rig was retired it was voted by the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Somers Fire District to donate it to the Westchester County Cause and Origin Team, Zone 4. It replaced a used Yorktown FD suburban (the former Rescue 16).

Quick question, why does it say City of Peekskill Police on the Box?

Zone 4 is sponsored by Peekskill PD, for lack of better terms. It is maintained by the city garage down on South Street.

In retrospect, if you look at zone 5's truck, it says Bedford PD on it.

That truck was also insured by Peekskill as a PD vehicle, if memory serves.
