Wow!

 

I don't really know what else to say about that

Can someone give me a history lesson on the spartan/scope for TL53?  This is my first time seeing this combo at FDNY.

Only one, it's a 9/11 thing. FDNY got rigs from were ever they could an rebuilt any thing they could to get back in shape.

Such a waste some little dept could really use this

Because that TL53 is on City Island - is it being scrapped due to Sandy related damage to the rig?

No it was out for auction and the scrap yard was the highest bidder.

It was a rebuilt/remount demo sitting at Baker when 9/11 happend. The rig was an emergency purchase by the FDNY and headed north from Richmond on 9/12 or the 13th with a few other FDNY Scopes with a police escort all the way to NYC.

Production hasn't even started yet.

Thanks but I was already aware of that, just was curious if anyone knew when they were going to be starting on them.

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

Great Photo! Is this a first of a kind of unit for the FDNY? Are there anymore of these in service?

There is a boarding ladder that leads up to the cargo area.  There is a bench seat on either side of the truck.     Saw 2 of these rigs out at the shops a few weeks ago when we had to drop our rig off and pick up a spare.   If I remember correctly, the guy at the shops said there was going to be 2 of these rigs per Boro.

I assume (and could be wrong) this is an answer to transportation problems after Sandy?
