    Pump Operations with hydrants on 48 inch water mains

    I've seen true hard suction, in the sense that it looks and functions as hard suction, that has been rated to take pressure as well. If I remember correctly, it was super expensive.

    Garner (NC) Fire Department starts new 48/96 shift schedule

    My department has been on the 48/96 for several years now. We LOVE it. It maximizes time off while minimizing commutes and time needed to recover from a busy shift. The only downfall is the need to have an administration that understands that we're indeed there for 48 hours so a strict wakeup on...

    Columbus OH FD gets 5 new Sutphen Heavy Rescues

    Sutphen is running about the same at this point as everyone else. The big thing is Sutphen is in Columbus's back yard in Dublin(a inner ring suburb to Columbus). The department runs 100% Sutphen except for TDA's which are Pierce and make up about half of their ladder companies. The Sutphen TDA...

    They got these last summer, but I’ve seen this picture floating around as new delivery recently for some reason. SVI body on Sutphen chassis. Replaced all rescues in the city at once.

    Arlington, VA Stolen Ambulance, PD Chase

    Over the years we've had a handful stolen up here near Cleveland. It's usually a psych and you're right, they don't get far.

    Roxboro NC FD new pumper August 2023

    It is a Roto Ray. We run them on our rigs at my job. They’re fantastic at catching attention of drivers, especially at night. They’re wired to shut off as soon as the air brake is set so they’re done spinning pretty quickly.

    NYPD Going Encrypted. Next Is FDNY?

    They’re only illegal IF you key up. I own one, as I’m working on my HAM radio license. They’re perfectly legal until you key up without your FCC license.

    Celina TX FD new rig July 2023

    I've seen a big trend towards this lately. Lots of departments buying trucks with no chrome, just black powercoated or black bed liner type material covering all the diamond plate.

    Memphis TN FD new aerial ladder July 2023

    It's like they (E-One) took one of their quint ladders and just slapped a rollup door over where the pump panel would be. Really odd looking.

    Beaumont CA Quint

    We were quoted 44 months on the above mentioned engine by Sutphen. I've been hearing a whole lot of 3 to 4+ years on all varieties of apparatus from multiple manufactures from orders placed in my area.

    That's kinda what I was thinking. Just a coincidence.

    Beaumont CA Quint

    A department that my department runs mutual aid with just purchased a 100' quint tower ladder for 1.2 million as well from Pierce. We ordered a rescue body engine (think Squad body) for just shy of $940K with not many bells and whistles... it's NUTS.
