FDNY Rigs Ordered Out of Service
#23
Louisville has purchased 37 Seagrave pumpers, ladders, and rescues since 1987.  Every single one of them are still on the roster, either in frontline or auxiliary (reserve) status.  And we have 3 more on order (wish it were more).  We have purchased over 100 Seagrave units throughout history.  Although a huge amount of credit goes to our shop, which I'd put up to any in the country, an equal amount of credit goes to the build quality and durability of Seagrave.  They are literally tanks.  Enough can't be said either about having like-parts on hand to maintain a standardized fleet.  We will likely continue to buy Seagrave as long as they are in business...or until a competitor successfully bids a like-quality fully stainless steel cab and body...or the city bean counters force us to buy low bid even if they didn't meet spec.
