Was the new Engine 313 Ferrara reassigned to Engine 304?

Was the new Engine 313 Ferrara reassigned to Engine 304?

Yes.

Per, a Yonkers guy on another forum, possibly to evaluate it at a busier company.

Any truth that only one vendor, Ferrara, bid on this contract? If that's true, it looks very close to a Seagrave spec, surprised they didn't bid on it.

It says it was purchased under HGAC, Houston Galveston Area Cooperative, which eliminates traditional bidding. Municipalities can purchase off the co-op direct from the manufacturers with significant savings in bid costs. It is becoming very popular in NJ and most manufacturers participate.significant

There is also a spec going out for a 102' Ferrara Inferno rear mount that will be used to replace Ladder 74 .

Guess they liked the Ferrara pumps?

Guess they liked the Ferrara pumps?

Or at least the price.

YFD awarded Ferrara Fire Apparatus (under the HGAC, Houston Galveston Area Cooperative) to not only replace the Current Smeal Rearmount Ladder 74, with a New Ferrara 100ft. Rearmount, but they are also going with Ferrara Fire Apparatus to replace the current 2009 ALF Midmount Tower Ladder 75. Now with the first 2 Ferrara Ultra Pumpers going to Engine 303 and 304, and with 4 more Ferrara Ultra Pumpers being built for Yonkers (probably to replace Engine 307, 308, 310, and 312), I guess that Yonkers likes what they are getting (so far) from Ferrara.
