Well I apologize, I had absolutely NO idea you felt so passionate about wheels! I was simply observing the back and forth from steel wheels and aluminum wheels, both with the last batch of replacement rigs to the current replacements. It makes me curious in any situation to who pays the attention that they say we want steel wheels on these but aluminum on these. I see your point that they're "just wheels" but really? Why can't we discuss them?
Again, I sincerely apologize, next time I won't mention it...

What's the story with that?[/quote]
R1's Captain Terry Hatton (EOW 9/11/01) was known for his saying that "Anything less than Outstanding is Unacceptable" ... the word "Outstanding" has been featured on the front of each of the past R1 rigs.
Comments welcome and encouraged from our FDNY brothers.

I've heard the same from Indianapolis, sounds like the trucks ride like tanks, which would be a minor worry compared to things that COULD go wrong with the truck.
Taylor, thank you, I've seen it on the E\-One and the Pierce, just never knew the signifigance of it!

So how is the truck holding up? I guess everyone at the house is not really happy with this new rig?

The real question is is the rig itself garbage or are the specs garbage? A rig is only as good as the specs are. Not trying to discount your concerns, Lord knows everybody up here HATED the 4 Pierce rearmounts we bought about 10yrs ago, but it is important to consider both positions.

I think that "1" on the front needs to be much bigger............... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Great Pictures.
I'm sure this has already been answered, but......Whats the story with Tower Ladder 53? a test for the department? Or something new to come?
Thanks for sharing.

It was a donation after 9/11. The boom came from an old FDNY Aerialscope.

Well, having worked for Seagrave for a short time until about 4 years ago, I can tell you that Ferrara is in for a very severe lesson with the FDNY. The FDNY stipulates a pretty intense 5-year "bumper to bumper" warranty on new apparatus. Ferrrara cut their teeth in NYC by delivering units that, in reality, are not used anywhere near as hard as first-line units (i.e. Satellite units, HazMat, SOC units, etc), and may be a bit over confident with their build quality. They are now taking the true test and one of two things will happen: 1) they will lose their ass on warranty expenditures and be forced to address any unforeseen shortcomings in their engineering and/or production (thereby increasing quality on future delivered product); or 2) they will choose not to bid in the future, and if they do, the pricing will be commensurate with the expense incurred to build a tougher product. Either way, they have 20 of them now, and just signed two more add-on contracts. I'm not here to endorse Seagrave for sure, as I have no financial reason to do so, but I can tell you without hesitation that while they are not the prettiest, don't have the gadgets and doo-dads, and are priced higher, they DO build a truck that can take one hell of a beating and keep asking for more. The Ferraras are not going away anytime soon, so the ride could be interesting! If KME gets in the door on the pumpers, the ride will progress to being WILD!

It was a demo sitting in Richmond at the time 9/11 happen and was deliveried with two other FDNY Seagrave Scopes within a day or two of 9/11.
