Ex-FDNY Rescue gets a second life

[Juice]

Maybe 121,867......................I believe R-2 is the busiest rescue (run wise), in the 5 Boro's.................And the Boro of Brooklyn is HUGE, no way that rig only had 21, 867 miles on it.................Also, these 2002 E-One Rescues were ALWAYS in the shops..................

 

Now that would make more sense!

 

 

I wouldnt say all their rigs are great .. I know my department sold back to Pierce a 1998 100ft tower with a cracked frame, cracked touqe box 100K miles on the truck, other major electrical problems on the ladder for $25K. Brindlee bought it from Pierce after it was  suppoededly repaired all the cracks. They refurbed it  repainted and put new LED lights and " fixed " all the problems then sold it to a department in South Carolina for $488K

 

I can't remember who the broker was, so I'm certainly not going to say it was Brindlee, but we had the same thing happen with a neighboring department. They had an 80 something Ford C/E-One with a cracked frame and other minor problems that made them decide getting a new truck would be more cost effective. They sold that truck for $20,000 or the likes thereof to the broker, shortly after that it was in a magazine for signifigantly more than that!

 

Trav!
