[quote name='ffemtwakeman' post='281635' date='Feb 13 2009, 20:55 ']Question for anyone in the Bedford area. I saw that they took or are taking delivery of a Crimson Ladder (quint), is that replacing the current Sutphen or is it being assigned to another house?[/quote]
I was in Bedford today and shot the new Truck 153. The Sutphen pumper currently running as Engine 153 will become a spare and Truck 153 will be taking its place. Truck 151, the 2000 Sutphen 95' tower, will become a spare as well, and that crew will begin operting as Engine 151, using the old 1995 KME pumper. Bedford's front line staffing will remain at its current level of three fire companies (two engines and one truck, three Medic Units, and the Batt Chief). I dont know why the decided to use the KME as the front line engine at Station 1 as opposed to the much newer Sutphen pumper that is currently at 3's.
