While looking around on Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus I came across this. I do believe its the former Ladder 4 from Rockaway Point in NYC that I thought was damaged during hurricane Sandy.

Miami-Dade will receive (6) new 75' single rear axle Sutphen tower ladders april/may of this year. The first one was on display recently at the Florida Fire Chiefs show in Daytona Bch.

last month it was painted white over red but will be repainted the Silver over lime green colors of Miami-Dade Fire before delivery late this month or early next month.

Quote:It has been 8 months since Ladder 57 signed on radio. However; we are pleased to announce that she has found a new home with Sleepy Hollow Fire Department. Sleepy Hollow is a village in the town of Mount Pleasant in Westchester County, New York. The village is located on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 30 miles north of New York City. Ladder 57 will serve as a temporary piece for them until they are able to purchase a new aerial in a couple of years.

Just before sunrise DFD was called to 1845 S. Yuma Street for a house fire.  Upon arrival they found two houses with fire showing, 3 vehicles on fire and explosions.  Two extra engines and one extra truck over the 1st alarm were called. 

   

Just found this website covering the history of the Tucson Fire Department. Of particular interest to the members of this board is the extensive collection of historical documents and photos under the "Apparatus" section. 

 

Enjoy!

So today friend of mine says they saw a L.A. truck on a flatbed I-90 west bound in Rapid City, SD but said they it wasent a new engine or tiller, so my question is, is L.A. City or County getting any new specialized equipment ?

Shortly after 10 AM on 1-21-16, AACo Fire Alarm dispatched Eng 33 for a Car Fire with Multiple Calls. I arrived at the scene about the same time as Engine 332
