Here is the information that I have, pertaining to the Rigs that are used by YFD for Spares/Reserves, in case of Front Line Apparatus Breakdown or in the case of City Wide Fire Alarm, where "Off Duty" personnel are called in to support Mutual Aid to cover the City of Yonkers. Here are the units:

1) Engine 301 is the "Old E 309" (1990 Mack CF - [serial # 903] 3rd Mack CF Pumper Purchased in 1990, and was replaced at E 309 with New 2001 ALF Eagle Pumper). It is housed at Station 12 on Fortfield Avenue, and is behind Engine 312.

2) Engine 302 is the "Old E 313" (1992 Mack CF - [serial # 921] 1st Mack CF Pumper Purchased in 1992). It is housed at Station 14 on Central Park Avenue North, and is behind Engine 314.

It is housed at Fire Headquarters on School Street and is in Bay # 1 (Reserve Squad/Rescue 1 also in Bay 1, ALF Rescue 1 in Bay # 2, TL 71 in Bay 3, and Mask Services Unit is Bay 4).
