FDNY Rigs Ordered Out of Service

[ACPD227]

I go on vacation every October to NYC and you are correct they are beaten. The way I read this though Foam units, Mask svc, Collapse, Hazmat, and Other now have to be replaced every 10 years. I as a Firefighter want nothing but the best but also me as a tax payer want the stuff taken care of and replaced when needed not because its 10 yeas old. I would agree 10 years seems spot on for engines and ladders, rescues. My personal car it drive is 13 and I dont get rid of it because it 13 ill get rid of it when it becomes unreliable.
