What is the difference in overall length compared to their current ambulances? Why the 4 door cab?

I'm sorry I meant hooking up to a hydrant

Why does the DODGE Ambulance have and FDNY ID # of CA.... Is it for CUMMINS Ambulance or Chrysler?

[Juice]

Could it be Crewcab Ambulance?



Trav!

While some on here may find out before me, I go back to work on Tues and will look into it. With the job usually going with the chassis manufacturer, I am going to lean towards Chrysler. Why not Dodge, we may soon find out. But with Seagrave, Mack, Ford, Etc., I would have thought they would have went with a "DA" for Dodge.





We shall soon find out...............





Stay safe, Brothers.

FDNY has always used "C" for any vehicle built by the Chrysler company. A few examples I can think of are all of the Plymouth Gran Fury's in the 1980's assigned to the Divisions, and the Dodge Ram vans assigned to the Building Maintenance mechanics in the 1990's.

[smketrfdny]

And THERE'S your answer......lol. Come to think of it, now I recall those Gran Fury's having the "CS" designation.



Thanks for the refresher.



Stay safe, Brothers.

Should it be FA for Fiat, after the last "merger?" Sorry, couldn't help myself...

Hard to tell but doesn't look to be one of the older rigs and looks in good condition (although hard to tell in a picture) pity they have to cover it in black paint.

FDNY or NYC requires that no PD or FD unit has markings that when sold look like units in service. you can not buy the rig then use it as against the city...

Looks similar to the Neptune pumps that NJ has. They also have 12 inch hose.

I just got back from a 3 day trip to NYC. I took several photos of FDNY trucks but they are not posed and many time not sitting still. I also found that FDNY dosent sit still for very long and some A@@hole is always walking into your picture or driving into them.
