[SageVigiles 1,194]

Today was UNH Fire Science Club's annual "buff trip." This year we went to Jersey. Here are some shots of Elizabeth FD houses/apparatus and Port Authority rigs from Newark Airport, thanks to both those departments for letting us in their houses. Some of these shots suck because they were inside the house and I had no room/light to take good ones.

Elizabeth, NJ Headquarters, home of Engine 7, Ladder 1, Rescue 1, Rescue 2 (UASI), Special Operations, the Battallion Chief, the Deputy Chief, 2 BLS buses and some other staff vehicles:

Engine 7

Special Operations, a lumber/equipment truck:

Rescue 1:

Ladder 1

I'll post a ton more from Elizabeth later (including a tiller), here's some Port Authority Stuff:

Hanging between the Police Desk and the ARFF Garage at Newark Airport:

View from the Officer's seat (though since they ride 1 to a rig most of the time, and the Sergeant has his own ARFF rig, I guess its not really the Officer seat)

Car fire rig for the garages:

Emergency Rig for extrications, etc.

The club members posing with PAPD Officers:

I have a TON more, but these are the highlights for now.

Time for some more:

Back to Elizabeth HQ, where the guys came up with a creative way to store a boat:

Battallion Chief's car, Ford Excursion:

Off to a closed station, where they keep part of the NJ State "Neptune" system, this deck gun can throw out FIVE THOUSAND GALLONS per minute, hooking up to 12" ®LDH (Really) Large Diameter Hose:

Staff car, Dodge Durango out front of the "Elizabeth Emergency Response Facility" paid for by the Port Authority of NY/NJ

Hazardous Materials Unit, purchased by the Port Authority for the Elizabeth FD.

EFD Rehab Unit:

Some EFD EMS units, the EFD just took over EMS a few months ago from the Police Department, they run all BLS trucks:

Arguably one of my favorite rigs, the EFD Decon Unit, a classic "stepvan" style HAZMAT truck:

This picture is horrible, but the lighting sucked in this house. This is another part of the "Neptune System" a roll-off pump similar to a dumpster truck on a Freightliner cab/chassis:

That is a 12" discharge, with a 3" relief... wow.

Downtown Station, home of Engine 1 and Tower Ladder 3:
