Thanks for the clarification!
F.D.N.Y. - ACPD227 - 01-30-2011
The engine looks to be in good shape not sure how it held up on the inside but the outside looks good. As far as not liking the rig im sure they decided they didnt like it long before they got it. I know if i had a choice id want a Seagrave but i also think ffa makes a good product. My department almost bought a ffa rig but we settled for a 2 year old Pierce demo instead.

May have been a smart move too!

These photos were forwarded to me via e-mail today. I do not know who the photographer is. They were taken at some type of expo or open house in the Louisiana area.

I must say that is an impressive rig.
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 01-31-2011
I agree!!!

Is it me or does it have Spartan look to it?

Kent Parrish explored this same idea in another thread a couple of weeks ago. [url="http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/index.php?showtopic=17438&view=findpost&p=420811"]Clicky here![/url]

Very Nice Rig, seems to me that its a little tall though? Wont be a problem for NY, but looks like no rural deparments with low lying trees in the area could use this as a concept. Otherwise, Great looking Rig

I would have to agree with you! That was my first thought as well when I first saw them.

New Rescue's!
It's nice to see that some Departments are still going "Old School" when designing apparatus. You don't see as many well set up Walk in Rescue Squads like this anymore. A lot of Departments are going to the walk arounds with 6-8 person cabs. I have also heard that some have also switch design because they feel that is safer if everyone is up in the cab together.
Everyone has their own opinions on that, plus with funding and space requirments in most of the Fire Stations, that also sometimes dictates the make, size and length.
Question, How many of the current Rescue's will they keep for Reserves after the 5 new arrive, and will the Pierce (Rescue 1) be one of them?
Thanks

Caught Tl15 today, it was a pain to get this shot as they were next to a traffic light and the very congested Bowery.

It's a Spartan? I thought it was a Ferrara? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />Edit: I was only joking, I know it is a Ferrara, just a little "apparatus identification" humor.
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 02-14-2011
It is a new Ferrara Chassis! I seen them when I was at the plant.
F.D.N.Y. - yelrowekim - 02-14-2011
You also have to remember that Marion Body makes the cabs for Spartan and other manufacturers as well.. so they might be doing the same for them too
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 02-15-2011
I think the Ferrara cab is made bt TCI cabs. http://www.truckcab.com/
If you look at the Door window lines, and the Windshield you will see that it is different than the Spartan cab.
the red cab is the Spartan.
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 02-15-2011
The spartan windshield does not curve down at the A post, as the FFA cab.

Do a comparison with the Ferrara cab and the Seagrave Marauder II cab.
F.D.N.Y. - ffemtwakeman - 02-15-2011
Here is a comparison of the Seagrave & Ferrara cab.
-Windshield curves down
-Side window line appears similar (exception of front doors, cosmetic Ferrara upward angle)
-Notch where front bumper sits under cab
-Location of air intake, grab bars & door latches apperas to be the same
-Front door has all stright lines like the Seagrave, where all other Ferrara cabs arch over the wheel well
Credit for photos go to Eli Gill & Ferrara Fire Apparatus.

I'd agree on the Seagrave comparison....Ferrara does that little cosmetic angle on their Inferno and Igniter cab's also.

Everybody wants to be a Seagrave! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
