New Seagraves

You got me thinking, so I went back and looked at FDNYtrucks site. Id say probably 50 to 60 percent of the engines in SI have or had a reel on their rig. Some are still in 15ish Ferraras, have them, and some are probably either being replaced or have been replaced like the 2010 Seagraves. 151 and 161 in a 2020 Seagrave, and have 1, but 154, also in a 2020, doesnt. So, it maybe like someone said, specific to their response area.

Think you mean E154 in a 2010. And surprising that they wouldn’t have one, being nicknamed “Splendor in the grass” when they were still an active company. First due to (and surrounded by) brush and marshlands.

Yep sorry. Probably fat fingered it. Another surprise is they went back to 500 gallon tanks from the 750s they used to have. I think that was at least 2 generations of rigs ago though.

The amount of Hydrants and the reliability has probably increased in the last 20 years.

They have, but at the same time with brush fires you dint always have access to a hydrant. I know in Spring Creek and down in the bird sanctuary in the Rockaways, there's roads that run into to the brush, and engines are ba k there quite frequently. I've seen videos of places in Brooklyn that are similar, and the engines run out of water within 2 minutes.

Is it the same with Great Kills? Or did the City actually have the idea to put more Hydrants at the park?

I honestly don't know. I've been out of NY for a while now, and things change almost on a daily basis.

Fair Point, I know out in our camp down there that I wouldn't trust the Hydrants for nothing. Wouldn't even trust the rigs to get down in some of those roads, can barely get our trucks through on a good day...
 
SP20007 was assigned to 257, but is now lettered for CTS. Why was such a relatively new apparatus reassigned, and what is 257 using now?

it seems they got the the one from the same year that CTS used to run SP20004 it look like in pictures...my guess would be in order to get more spread on the hours between them...

E257 Is Now Using [SP20004], Ex CTS. SP20007 Had Multiple Issues On Top Of The Klein Fire (Lots Of Pump Issues, Etc). Advanced Testing Showed That A Fault was located at the “ground crimp connection” on the chassis above the transmission. I Am Assuming This Is Why The CTS Was Reassigned To E257.
 
I don't believe so. The next batch of pumpers are the 2015 KMEs and replacement is required by the middle to end of 2025 and 2026. Remember they changed the pumper replacements to 10 years, 364 days and 59 mins. As Per previous contracts the last delievered must be in the shops by 2359 hrs
