Quote:Just saw this Trey.
 
I will try and find it. Have you been able to shoot in the city lately?

Quote:Ok...I was up there 3 weeks ago and shot at 1,2,4,5,6,9,11 and 14 . Hope to get back soon to get more . I posted on the previous page if you want to see what I got .

Quote:I saw them. You always take great photos. I need to upgrade to something better than my cell phone, but for now I'm happy just getting our apparatus back on here. Let me know next time you are in the city.

Quote:It has been assigned to the Fleet Maintenance Division for multiple years now. They use it as a tow truck. I haven't heard of it being used for rescue-capabilities in many years

Quote:THe Rotator is at the Fire Department Repair Shop. The plan to integrate it with Rescue Squad No2 went out the window. There was a lot of time spent on training members how to use the unit. I was sad to see the plan scrapped

Quote:It now sits outside in the weather unsecured on a public DC street near the shops.  Not even kept indoors or in the secured fenced in lot at the shops.  Surprised the bell has not been stolen off it yet.

Quote: 

New Jersey? I would hope, and hope they send it to Seagrave in Wisconsin, so that technicians trained on the Aerialscope can rebuild it, with proper (and updated) Aerialscope components. I've seen several Aerialscopes, including one we had where I worked, that were damaged due  to the departments using repair facilities that shouldn't have been working on an Aerialscope in the first place.

Quote:This reserve truck is being utilized by Tower 3 for the indefinite future. The Tower has been sent to New Jersey (I was told) to start the refurbishment process. This reserve TDA is basically brand new, post refurb.  

Quote:Tac you're worried about Seagrave New Jersey doing a refurb on an Aerialscope??? Again it went to Seagrave NJ so I would say they are very capable on rebuilding a Scope. 

Quote: 

Depends on....pardon the pun....scope of the work. If it's only basically a refresh, they can do it. But Seagrave sends all major Aerialscope refurbishment and repair work to Wisconsin. They have equipment, tooling and a skilled quantity of manpower that NJ doesn't to not only rebuild but upgrade it. At least that's the last I heard.

On a side note, Seagrave in NJ is now http://www.eessllc.com/. Does Seagrave still operate a factory service center there?

Quote:Just received word from a former co-worker that DCFD people are in Appleton to pick up a new heavy rescue and hazmat unit.

Quote:Recently heard that Tower 3 (at Rehab) won't pass UL testing. Any facts to that? What was the plans for the second AerialScope, or old Tower 3 once it was rehabbed?

 

Thanks
