FLORIDA RIGS
|
Great pics, Droopydogg! Thanks for sharing.
I love Sutphens, we may be getting several 75' Sutphen towers in Miami-dade in the near future, I heard today of a failure somewhere of an aerial piece not sure where? Sutphen put out a cease all aerial operation's nation wide until failure's are identified? can anyone further
verify as to this event with Sutphen ladders? thanks.
PA and NC, both had Sutphen 100' Tower units. Cables broke while in operation causing the aerials to retract quickly, and hurting several firefighters. Sounds as if this was a previous issue, but due to multiple recent happenings they are making a public announcement and voluntarily asking departments to take their 100' and plus units out of service until inspected or fixed.

The incidents were in PA and Hall County, GA (not NC).
On my first trip to Florida, I wasn't able to get out to photograph too many rigs. However, I did manage to stop in at Palm Beach County Station 68 and got Engine 68, a Freightliner/Ferrara.
The Pierce is getting some work done and cleaned up and should be going to replace the engine at our station 76 to place a truck co. in the north end of the city. No word on when but it will probably be early fall.
Spotted another Pierce Quantum lettered for Broward Sheriff Fire-Rescue E206 on the Pierce Flickr page.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?

One of Miami-Dades engines is on the Rosenbaure new delivery page. Looks pretty good

Don't like the red on the front bumper with that paint scheme...but if that is the safest, most visible combo then I'm all for it.
Miami-Dade starting to receive the first (5) of a total of 31 new Rosenbauer/commander pumpers, should be 5 per month starting this month. Also receiving (20) new
Freightliner/Braun rescue trucks with the first (5) in & inservice. |
