Wonder if they are having the same problems with as Eastchester's ALF TL, which is very similar to Yonkers. But Eastchester's were compounded by leaving it outside unprotected for a couple of years while the firehouse was renovated.

Anyone know why they chose the Inferno chassis as opposed to the Ultra they went with with the engines?

What's going to happen to the 2008 ALF that it replaced?

[STAT213 332]

The chassis choice (according to previous posts from the YFD folks) was related to engine and chassis compatibility.

^{Yonkers FD has 4 more Ferrara Ultra Pumpers on order (thru Neville Fire Apparatus), to replace 4 of the aging ALF Pumpers currently in service (not exactly sure, but most likely Engines 308, 306, 312, and 310), along with 1 additional Ferrara Inferno 85' Mid Mount Tower Ladder (to replace the current 2008 ALF Mid-Mount Tower Ladder 75) and 1 New Ferrara Inferno 100' Rear Mount Ladder Truck (to replace the current 2007 HME/Smeal 100' Rearmount Ladder 74)}
