Ouch! That sucks. I recall hearing that the Ferrara ladders had lots of issues.

[goon16]

Yeah a majority of the ladder companies who have Ferraras are all in spares

[firetdriver_99]

There are only 3 on the line as of now, E-153 S.I, E-97 Bronx, and E-251 Queens. 251s rig went 1st due to a 3rd Alarm yesterday.

Is this one of the Ferrara pumpers being scrapped already?

[Reliance]

I think somewhere it was reported that it was from Hurricane Sandy

No just old age, It's aged out .

2003 Ferrara Ultra, 1000/500 HP pumper. Looking at the way the markings are blacked out, I would say this was Engine 258 and not Engine 54. You can actually see the top of the company patch behind the drivers door, and it appears to be a maltese cross and not an oval like 54's.

OMG!!!! Do you mean they missed a part of an identifier when they tried to spray paint all the FDNY markings out??????

Was able to confirm above.

FDNY Engine assigned to CTS (Chauffeur Training School)
2014 KME 2000/500
# KP14001

What a change from a department that was all Seagrave to Ferrara and KME

[CCFR-45]

Nice shot of the new KME. It still blows my mind that they have a brand new truck assigned to training, and not in front line service. 

 

Thanks for sharing.

When Ladder 4 backs in is that a new Seagrave engine 54 in the bay?

It's allows the drives to see the difference in driving a Seagrave to a KME. It makes perfect sense

Yes.
