What are you trying to say here, Rescue 1 has train horns or R-2, or both?

I believe Goon is saying R-2 also has a set. Rescue Co-2 (Brooklyn) refers to themselves as "THE" Rescue (of the FDNY).......................

Dear god...dont tell me their guys have that "We're better than you/everyone" attitude...pleaseee say no.



Back onto the subject. Does anyone have inside the box shots of this monster? I've never seen the inside of any of the 5 FDNY Rescues and wonder if it's setup like a regular ol Rescue company or if it's completely different..

Does anyone know if they are happy with the Pierce ???

[Guest]

Im pretty sure they are more than content with the beast. I haven't heard any negatives on it since they took delivery/placed it in service.

[Guest]

ive heard that FDNY is very happy with the performance of the Arrow XT

Thanks I thought the lettering looked different !! Rescue 3 had the Spirit of Oklahoma also !! Bet FDNY can't wait till the new pumpers come in !!!!

Looks like Squad 61 changed the middle light bar to a rotator, looks good and kinda breaks up the LEDs.

I was gonna say the same thing. Thats actually smart if you think about it. So one lights constantly on. being the LEDs flash then reset and so on.

Actually Squad 61 was delivered with the Code 3 Rotator light bars. they replaced the 2 red rotator bars that are on a 45 degree angle with Whelen LED bars and left the original rotator bar in the center
