E-54 Ferrara

[memory master]

Probably water rescue equipment.

It's not water rescue stuff, trucks carry the bulk of that.  It's just extra storage for whatever the company decides.  Could be skeds, could be life preservers.

Some engines also carry the water rescue equipment, not just the trucks.

 

[Joeyengine]

There are engines that are designated water rescue units so they do carry water rescue equipment in those big boxes

Engine 54's new Seagrave is now delivered and at the Shops.

So I assume that Engines 26 and 258's Ferrara HP Pumpers are also scheduled to be replaced by Seagraves?

Along with a bunch from SI there's 224, 314, 266, 329, and 321.

 

[FDNYSTATENISLAND]

SI water rescue engines are 162 and 164.

 

[memory master]

SI water rescue engines are 162 and 164.

And 168 is the back-up for 164. Hence they have water rescue equipment. I would not kid you.
