Tarrytown Tower

[CM36 4]

I heard that tarrytown is getting a AFL Tower ladder to replace one of their engines. I also heard that it is going to be 100 ft midmount to replace engine 80 or 78 i also it is going to be in pretty soon so if anyone has any info on it i would be happy to know it.

I also heard something along the same path.

I also hear it is going to be painted blue and gray?!

Any Tarrytown folk on these here boards that can elaborate?

[CM36 4]

BLUE AND GRAY that will be interesting to see

[x648eng119 2]

That's quite interesting, a tower to replace an engine. I'm not too familiar with what rigs are in what houses in T-town. Any idea where in the district it will be housed in relation to the other ladder?

[SteveOFD 176]

The rumor I heard is that it will be replacing E78(the oldest in the Dept.) TL78 on the County list is already reserved for Tarrytown. Heard that it will be stationed at the new house in the Route 119 area with E80.

[CM36 4]

Engine 80 is down by the train station which is right down the street for the other ladder and i do not know where engine 78 is

[SteveOFD 176]

Oops, the rumor I heard was that E77 will be in the new house with TL78. E77(Consolidated Eng) used to be on Sheldon Ave. in the South end of the Village before their house was torn down.

From the 3/11/05 Journal News Legal Section, the Tarrytown Village Board approved issuing a bond for $992,000 for "the acquistion of a fire-fighting vehicle and apparatus".

They should have ordered a couple more airpaks and make it Westchester County's first million dollar apparatus. lol.

When the truck comes in it is going on tour for American Lafrance because we have no fire house to put it in. The village has not made any moves to evan start bulding.

It will be a 75 foot mid mount quint and yes it will be blue and silver

THE VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN PROMISED THE FD A NEW HOUSE FOR THE NEW TL AND ENG. 77 YEARS AGO, SO THEY GAVE THEM PREMITON TO ORDER IT. ENG 77 HAS BEEN A TEMPORARY SHED FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS

[SEC92 0]

ENG 8022- DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY PICKED THE BLUE AND GREY

COLOR? IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS AREA. THERE MUST BE

SOME HISTORY TO IT

[Guest x2371]

How long is the tour going to be?? So what you are saying is you are paying them Top dollar to build a demo to drive all over the country then when there done you will get it back and still have no where to put it. It will be a year old and have a ton of miles on it. Doesn't sound like a lot of planning went into this

[gpdexplorer 46]

I dont know if this is true or not, but i heard that someone was going to donate a large chunk of light to the FD for a fire house, but the only reason why it didnt happen was b/c E-77 members didnt want to be stationed w/E-78 members.

Guys, ur all here to do the same thing. Cant we all just get along? ](*,)

[Oswegowind 17]

so tarrytown is getting a blue used 992,000 dollar tower ladder...what a steal...and then they can use the 8,000 left over to have a custom car tarp built to protect it from the weather while stationed at the on duty driver's home...

[Guest Truckie 1075]

They can get a funky blue tarp to cover the funky blue truck :-P

[chris498 31]

I saw a picture of this truck from the FDIC convention in Indianapolis...... It is blue and grey...... I've gotta see this thing up close, it actually looks pretty sharp!

[CM36 4]

[chris498 31]

I saw a pic online at firepics.net

[CM36 4]

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW

[Guest]

[EJS1810 7]

I tried posting the pic that i saw but it will not let me it is the 13th one down but if u got to page 5 or 6 in that post their is a better one

[x635 4,066]

The new tower is beautiful, from what I can tell. It's color is very unique. I can't wait to get a better shot of it.

[WAS967 97]

When I first looked i thought "UGH, a BLUE fire truck?" But then as I looked at the pictures and took it all I soon realize how hot that color is. I like that blue. I wish WEMS would use that blue. Good choice. 8)

[Remember585 815]

And yet, nobody has said why this rig is the color scheme that it is....

Looks nice, best of luck with it.

Now, a few other questions.

1. How will TFD modify their responses, now that they are running 2 Trucks.

2. How much training will it take to teach the engine guys to take on truck duties?

3. Which Truck will be doing the Mutual Aid calls?

4. When will it be here, so we can see it up close?

Agaiin, best of luck with it!!!
