Ferrari build a Hazmat tender? Anybody have any pics?

The 10-60 assignment is such overkill. But if you have the resources, use them!

Bid opening.

Word on the street is Seagrave won the contract for the rear mounts this time.

Good luck with that!

This bid is probably for the next set of pumpers to be replaced after the current contract is fulfilled. It takes approx. 1-2 years from time of bid announcement to delivery of the first unit. Also there could possibly be some changes to the specifications not addressed in the current contract.

KME built the cabs for the new rescues.

As per nyc.gov DCAS, Ferrera was awarded a contract to build high-water rescue vehicles. No number of vehicles specified, but the contract is about 1.5mil.

Do the firefighters (not the chaufeer or officer) ride in the back of haz-mat 1, or do they ride in the second piece?

Saw Marine 6 yesterday cruisin underneath the Verrazano Bridge. It looks like a huge Coast Guard from the front, but then you see the FDNY markings as it turns to the side. Defeinitly doesn't look like a fireboat. Still a sharp looking boat though.

Why do scanners stay keyed on a borough frequency when there is no radio traffic being transmitted? Is there a way to set the squelch to eliminate this?
