New Fire Houses For Yonkers FD?

[61MACKBR1 222]

I have 2 questions for anyone out there in the know. Rumor down hear out of the area, as it, that the Yonkers Fire Department is considering building 2 New Fire Stations. One would be to build a new, 4 bay, Fire Headquarters, somewhere near the Old Otis Elevator Plant, to replace the Old Building, that might be torn down as part of the New Minor League Baseball Complex. Does anyone know anything about this, and what kind of New Headquarters will be built (Glass Bay Doors, etc. etc. etc.), in order to house Tower Ladder 71, Rescue 1, Battalion 1, Mask Services Unit, and Others. ALSO, rumor has it that a New Fire Station is being planned up at the New Ridge Hill Development, off of the New York State Thruway (possibly Station # 5), with a Ladder Company (Ladder 77) or Engine Company (305) being stationed there to help with the increase in population in and around that new development and location. If it is a Ladder Company, would Yonkers FD ever consider purchasing a New American LaFrance "QUINT" 100 Ft Ladder Quint with a 500 Gallon Tank able to produce 1250 GPM, to be kind of a Ladder/Engine Company Combination? Does anyone know anything about this as well. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
