Niiiiice!!!!! I'm sure that'll serve the citizens of Scarsd... uh, I mean the North End of New Rochelle

Can't wait to work with it on some EMS runs!

[LTNRFD 266]

Barry....The rear hose bed looks much smaller than the other engines. Will 5 Engine carry the same compliment of hose, or will there be a change in the way 5 Engine operates ??? Also, I didn't see the pop out steps to assist the old timers in the cab......

Does it say "chevron" on the back verticle sections?

You were right, the people in Scarsdale...."hey whats that New Rochelle Fire Truck, Police car & Amb. doing at my house" I called SFD, SPD & SVAC.

Sorry sir but you live in New Rochelle.

"I do not.... the real estate agent told me it was Scarsdale and I paid $100,000 extra because of it"

Yes. In reading NFPA 1901 we determined that "chevrons" were required on the back...............so we wrote "Chevron" (note its in White with red background). LOL

Well...if anyone can find a loophole. it would be you!

Will it say FDNR on the front above the grille?

Why would we put someone elses name on our rig?

I could use a couple of new T-shirts.....................Did I write that...bad hands..bad

It will replace spare E-17 or be numbered E-18 (a previous spare)

I know you guys got away from Pierce for awhile any reason why you went back ?

Will it carry any extra equiptment besides that of a standard engine company, being that it's a similiar layout like 22. (not including the geriatric equiptment )

[Bnechis 3,961]

They stopped bidding. Now they are back. We didnt get away from them, they didn't want our biz. And since they sold no rigs in Westchester from 2002-2008 I guess they did not want anyone elses

E-25 is setup as an engine & 1/2 service company (as per ISO). since the 1st due ladder to its area is L-13 and has a substantial drive.

E-25 carries (beyond what other engines carry) a Fan, TIC, Little Giant Ladder and the new e-25 will also carry a 35' extension (in addition to the 24' & 14' roof)

and a combi tool, plus additional hooks and generator

They claim 300 days....but it looks like they are closer to 225 for this engine.

The rumor mill has it that you need to check the pump test very carefully on the PUC. If you ordered 1500 gpm, make sure you get 1500 gpm.

How are your current rigs holding up I know my department is going to be looking at specing out an engine with in the next year or two I know you guys have a few different manufacturers. Anything we should stay away from

Bnechis How are your current rigs holding up I know my department is going to be looking at specing out an engine with in the next year or two I know you guys have a few different manufacturers. Anything we should stay away from

Our biggest concern is with the financial stability of the vendor. If you cant get parts, then what?

We are specing a number of different maintenance features into our rigs to try and reduce the down time and the cost that can be reduced, but all of those items can be spec'ed into anyones ability to build.

We have tried to move as much as possable to a performance based spec, that anyone can build. I still see depts. that will buy X because we always have, even if X is the most expensive and the quality has turn to "waste".

Another thing we've considered is that all of our rigs will hit or get hit during its life. I looked at a lot of rigs last week at Peirce and many have never considered that and a minor fender bender is going to cost them tons and will take the rig OOS for a long period to repair, and simple changes would solve that

Looks nice, and good luck with it
