Looking forward to seeing the new rig. Congrats!

Question...

What is the reasoning behind the 750 gallon tank on a first due apparatus? Seems the norm (whatever normal is) is 1000 gallons.

Best of luck, keep us posted!

Norm is 1000? For MKFD or in general?

Thanks, looking forward to the delivery also. Just like was said, we wanted to keep the truck as small as possible. We have a 1000 gal. pumper already, tried to mirror the engine it is replacing. Will have a ton more space on this one with high side compartments on both sides and a 8 man cab.

The 1000 gallon tank made the truck far too large for our back roads, this truck should fit the profile we need it for. Like already said, the other engine we have is much larger. Tight driveway rig...

Hey John, we actually got Brett to smile once... Couldn't get him to go out though... Lol

It is 199 from Bedford Hills, just a pic to show what cab model we are using. Not our truck.

Expected delivery is next summer, anywhere from July to August hopefully. We will explore all the options when it comes time to take the 1989 Pierce out of service, donation is one of them.

Here are some views of the final drawing. Took a bit longer to get, had a few minor changes to be made.

Final inspection is set for July 15, will post pictures from the trip!

[IFCO106 44]

The apparatus committee made the trip to Seagrave out in Wisconsin for the final inspection of the new pumper for the Independent Fire Co. in Mt. Kisco, NY. After two days of going over the truck, driving and pumping the truck, only a few minor details needed correcting. We also added a few things to the rig, The new engine should be leaving Wisconsin towards the end of this week and should arrive at Hudson Vally Fire Equipment the beginning of next week.

It will be up at Hudsan Valley Fire Equipment for about 3 weeks getting tools and equipment mounted, also the lettering and striping will be done at the same time. It should arrive in Mt. Kisco at the Independent Fire Co. in late August. After getting the rest of the equipment and hose on and some nights of training, we hope to have it in service in early September.

Here are a few pics of the trip!

[IFCO106 44]

It has arrived! Will follow up with more soon.

Ahh, I get it!

Run lights and sirens and make everyone move, just so we can get a good video!

All those people in the car's behind the rig must be thrilled... Not to mention scaring the piss out of Grandma and her dog at the end.

Exactly what we were going for, glad you picked up on that! Thank you for your input...

[pump305 53]

Mount Kisco, what a wonderful new engine. Glad you went with a Fed Q siren on this one. As for Grandma she never missed a step. Nice tradition when approching the station for the first time in a new rig.

UUmmmm looks like those cars were not staying 500 feet behind the rig.

As for the dog he wasn't even barking. My 2 (choco lab and Catahoula leopard dog) would have been going bananas!

Good luck with the new rig!!!!
