New Apparatus Orders/Deliveries - All Areas Discussion Thread

I too have seen the rumor that Chapp. was getting a tanker. I saw it on either massfiretrucks.com or 10-75.net.

Either way, CFD retired and sold E145 in 2013 without a replacement as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure that they needed to replace E145... Truck 27 is a quint where as Truck 3 wasn't. E146 carries a ton of LDH as I recall and the new E144 although I've never seen it in person looks like it probably does too. If they're going to replace R23 with a rescue wagon then I think they'll be in good shape without a replacement for E145. And again a tanker for their district is not a good expenditure of the tax payers money.

Does anyone know what East Fishkill is replacing their Tower Ladder 39-46 with? I see the old one is up for sale.

[AndyC3J 190]

The apparatus news page on Eli's site (10-75.net) suggests a 100' rear mount Ferrara platform for East Fishkill. No such beast is shown on Ferrara's "In Production" page as of yet, however.

Updates for Orange Co.: Washington Heights' rescue due in August since switching to Ferrara, and Mechanicstown's Seagrave engine (which I am now told will replace 125, rather than 118) is due in late May.

Still no word on Pine Bush or Sparrowbush's bids.

US Tanker: Just delivered to Quaker Street FD Schenectady County just off of I-88.

This is an answer to the request from a commanding officer for a tanker & manpower or an engine & manpower. Quaker Street wanted to make this unit truly a multipurpose unit and fill the requests of other departments while utilizing only one unit. They also needed a second piece of apparatus for a back-up.

This unit is built on a Freightliner chassis with a Hale 1250 gpm Hale pump with an APR 2000 gwt.

If it meets the needs of the department, great. But you should never buy apparatus to fill the needs of other departments. You get what you need and you make it work as best you can for them.

Years ago I worked on an engine replacement project for a dept. in another county. The chief wanted a 3,000 gpm engine (replacing a 1,000 gpm unit). The commissioners were concerned that it was not needed. I was interviewing the chief and asked what the best hydrant in the district was (1,200 gpm), did they have a multi looped hydrant system and if they had any drafting locations (no). I asked how was he going to get 3,000 gpm to put into the pump in his town? He said they wanted it because if they had the biggest pump in the county, everyone would call them mutual aid and his ff's would get more experience. I asked if he understood he was asking to spend enough for 2 standard engines and then was going to strip the community of it and personnel on a regular basis? He said he never thought of it that way and dropped the idea.

Campbell Hall (Orange Co.) took delivery of their new rescue earlier this week. It's built by UST Fire Apparatus (formerly US Tanker) on a four-door International TerraStar chassis.

Production has started on the following: Kenworth/Pierce tanker for Goshen (Orange) and Seagrave engines for Bedford Hills (Westchester) and Tallman (Rockland).

Delivery for Maybrook's new engine has been pushed back to November, and Washington Heights' Freightliner/Ferrara medium rescue is due in mid-October.

Sparrowbush (Orange) seeking bids again for a new pumper-tanker.

That's about all I have. Anyone else have any further updates? Have not heard who Pine Bush went with for an engine, or if an order has even been placed yet.
