A bad day to try to cross Midtown. We were walking faster then Ladder 4 was driving.

[Guest]

Behind Ladder 4 was what I'm guessing is a spare battalion vehicle. Perhaps they put on extra units due to the congestion. Lots of "Q's" echoing around town.

Ladder 12's CPC truck

Looks like Batt. 9 was using a spare rig. I recognize Joey C driving. He's one of the regular Aides in the 9th Batt.

Further uptown (at the reviewing stand on Fifth Ave) the traffic was much lighter. Here's an FDNY EMS gator.

Took this up in the Bronx. I think it was getting work done to it.

sorry no pic but i saw ladder 38 getting a new rig i saw it on the triboro with a unmarked spare ladder tailing it they were probably going to the rock. is this one of the 2006 seagraves or a newer model

[e290l103]

L38 is not getting a new rig. there are no new rearmounts in or on order. the specs are not even done for the ones to replace the 10 1999 Seagraves that are in service.

[rlukas1]

Ladder 38 presently is assigned a 2001, 100-foot Seagrave rear mount. There are still ten 1999 units awaiting new rigs, Ladders 19, 24, 32, 42, 81, 123, 137, 154, 156, and 169.



It must have been, don't tell me......................another SPARE.

couldnt be a spare it was brand spanking new maybe i messed up the number assignments

[e290l103]

I guess I will repeat so there is no misinformation out there. THERE ARE NO NEW REARMOUNTS CURRENTLY ON ORDER/BEING DELIVERED/HAVING RECENTLY BEEN DELIVERED to FDNY. NONE. dont know what you saw, but it wasnt a brand new rig.



ALL 2006 MODEL RM's ARE IN SERVICE AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF.

It was the rearmount from the Rock the fire school drivers training rig..

[Russell]

Switching gears....



Any word on when we might start seeing some new FDNY engine's?
