Hastings-on-Hudson F.D Orders New Lifeline Ambulance

[x635 4,066]

After some questions previously on the forum, I've found the answer.

Hastings-on-Hudson F.D., Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

The Hastings-on-Hudson Fire Department Volunteer Ambulance Corps has ordered their second Life Line ambulance, a 2008 E-450 167" Superliner with 72" interior headroom. This unit will feature all LED emergency lighting, custom backboard storage mounted to the compartment door, and custom interior cabinetry.

Anyone know if this ambulance will continue to carry the extrication equipment, or what the status of that change being considered is?

So then, in effect, Engine 43 will become the department's rescue, or more accurately, extrication response unit? Is this a long term solution, because I had thought I had read somewhere on here there's a new rescue pumper in the works?

The only new fire apparatus i know so far that is coming in is a new segrave to replace Engine 46.
