Looks like an air intake
F.D.N.Y. - engine216 - 10-13-2013
Shannon is correct. A few years ago, Seagrave started putting air intakes on the sides of the cab.
F.D.N.Y. - goon16 - 10-13-2013
All the new rigs have there intakes there our ferrera ladder has it there
F.D.N.Y. - drfeelgood - 10-14-2013
From what I understand it's an FDNY requirement for the air intakes to be high so the rigs can run in high water and snow.

Thanks all who responded. It was hard to tell by the photo. It looks like a piece of cardboard on it. LOL

They are civilian employees, the job title is "Communications Electrician". They maintain above and underground cables that support various equipment, such as city fire alarm systems, house voice alarms and printers.
The title originated when the division maintained the network of street callboxes (Gamewell-type system).

Here's another one of their newer Communications Division underground wire maintenance trucks.

I thought the Spartan Scope was purchased pre-9/11......Wasn't it assigned to 105 when it was delivered????
F.D.N.Y. - Guest - 10-20-2013
The Spartan Aerialscope was aquired post-9/11, not sure if it was purchased or donated. I was aquired only a few months after 9/11. It was orginally placed into service at Tower Ladder 105. Once ladder 105 received a new Seagrave Aerialscope, it was then assigned to Tower Ladder 53 on City Island in the Bronx. Ladder 53 has since received a new Seagrave Aerialscope. I heard the Spartan was damaged in Sandy. I don't know if the damage caused FDNY to scrap it, or remove it from all service since it was a non-uniformed FDNY Aerialscope.

Quote:Anything special about the cargo area in the back, like equipment storage, boarding ladder / steps, seating, etc or is it just an open bed cargo area?
Thanks,
Gary

A little over 3 years ago, I got detailed to 53 Truck one night tour. They still had the Spartan, and what a piece of junk that thing was..........

Here is a close up of the aforementioned air intake:

Quote:Thanks Seth - Looks like a simple and practical design. Hope they get used for something other than "once every couple of years" type flooding, since lack of use is sometimes almost as bad as overuse.
Thanks,

After watching a video I saw on youtube I was curious as to what the function of the SOC Rescue Battalion is and when and what types of responses would he respond on?
