Wassaic's First Staff Car - 69-1

[markmets415 524]

The Fire District purchased our first staff vehicle from J.H. Ketcham in Dover Plains, a 2005 Ford Expedition, with a command center in the back, once I get a chance I will see about getting some further photos, although not new, it's a start in the right direction, Chief Boardman just picked the unit up from the graphics shop in Carmel. Yes I know it's not Blue!!!!

And I take issue with that. Talk about the red headed stepchild!

[markmets415 524]

There was a conversation about painting it white with ghost striping and lettering but it just wasn't worth the cost being it is used, we got a good deal on the vehicle from our neighbors, it's been well taken care of and it will help us get started towards the purchase of a new one down the road a few.

What place did the grahpics, were they reasonable?

[markmets415 524]

I can check, it's a shop in Carmel that the Firematic Shop uses.

Our new Chief truck will arrive today and be sent out for radio, lights and graphics install, I've been assigned the 2005 Ford seen above, I've detailed it up and the fire district allowed the graphics to be done over, along with rear Chevrons, yes it is still not blue but I think it looks SO SO much better then it previously did. As soon as the new truck is completed I will post some photos of that as well.

Nice. Is it going to be a slicktop unit or is going to have a lightbar?

[markmets415 524]

No it will have a light bar, the lights and radio install are completed, graphics up next
