I just saw on Ferraras website a mitigation unit for haz-mat 1, is this truck going to replace the kenworth/pierce?

I love those macks.. must have been something else to see them for the first time given what they were replacing at the time..

Looking for some help from an FDNY brother. How do you guys like the convex mirror mounted off the right front corner of your rigs? is it useful? does it create any blindspot or does it help with visibility? We are thinking of adding them to our rigs being built....

thanks in advance....

For what it's worth, we have one mounted on our rig (a 38' Heavy Rescue) as I drive all the time, I find it very useful, I use it all the time, mostly on turns checking clearance of my extended front bumper......I think it is an asset.

Hi...thanks for the reply about the mirrors. Do you have two on your rig? One off the front corner below the windshield and one "look down" off the roof?  am more interested in the one below the windshield....any comments on that one?

Thanks again for the reply...( was going to PM you but was unable)

Agree 100% with R1Smokeater! I've been an engine chauffeur, first in Midtown, and now in The Bronx for just about 10 years, and to me it's one of the most useful mirrors on the rig! Highly recommend them!

When you get the mirror try to get the 1/4 moon convex rather than the flat one. With the flat you only see the corner of the bumper and the 1/4 moon you can see all of the bumper and a little down the right side.

Ex-Ladder 10, 2001 Seagrave 100' RM is now retired from L-10, with the new Ferrara now in service. Mural has been removed, and it is getting ready to go into the spare pool.
