Future expansion. Rigs get bigger and bigger every few years. Look at a Tower from the 60s/70s vs today. Makes perfect sense to oversize the floor.

I think i have E82s Seagrave. I have to look. It would be amazing if at somepoint Code 3 had made period Macks and tillers for 82/85/31/712 from the book.

Its amazing looking at that picture, that according to Dennis Smiths book, 2 engines and 2 tillers were parked in there during the war years.

I've heard something similar years ago. They dont like using reserve rigs as spares, and if so only for really short time frames.

Havent heard or seen it in a while. Thought it was gone.

Wasn't that a 10-14 code? Or used to be.

Funny you mention a Pierce 95 tl with issues. Buddy of mine works for Osceola County Fire and they were replacing their only platform. Came down to Pierce and Sutphen SPH100. For what ever reason they went with Pierce. They had to send the truck back with over 120 someodd issues. Pretty sure...

Here's my question. Can a basically local California judge/ jury force a break up of a national company? Or is it something that belongs in a federal court and LACo shot themselves in the foot? Or are they hoping Washington notices and does it for them.

I agree. I can think of a bunch of things to throw in. How likely is it? Probably not.

Short version. Some kids were trying to explore, 1 ended up falling down 1 of the spans and his "friends" left. Apparently 6 guys later they called Lynbrook pd where they lived and they sent a car to make coms easier.

Because a lot of what they do is illegal to begin with. And consequences dont apply to them.

Honestly dont know. I know in the past when my Dept purchased engines from the city, they were just about ready to go. The airpack brackets were there, shelves, seats, light bars etc. We only had to put radios in, re letter, swap light bars and load it. Things may have changed in between.

They may not have a deep spare fleet but what about the units that were replaced and awaiting disposal?

Does FDNY loan units as spare to other area dept? There's a video circulating online that shows a FDNY tower that I'm assuming was a spare as New Rochelles tower with captions saying its a loaner. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUrOYG1Dizg/

What's car 422?
