lfdlt17 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Just read that Ferrera won the recent tender for 100 ft rear mounts for FDNY. They've been Segrave for so long now. Guess that demo unit turned a few heads Did Seagrave bid? I heard they are having troubles and the Ladders was between Ferrara and Pierce pretty much. I could be wrong though. Have also been told that there is no way at all you are going to make money dealing with FDNY because of all of their demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that demo unit turned a few heads FNDY has about 20 or so other Ferrera peices in its fleet besides the new rear mount orders, they are mostly specialty fleet tho Did Seagrave bid? I heard they are having troubles and the Ladders was between Ferrara and Pierce pretty much. I could be wrong though.Have also been told that there is no way at all you are going to make money dealing with FDNY because of all of their demands. Pierce also got the last order of 5 heavy rescues for FDNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I had heard about the specialty rigs going Ferrera, really didn't surprise me too much, as that has always been somewhat variedThe rescues though are another story as Saulsbury is no more, E-One (Federal Signal at the time) bought them out and moved the line down to Florida just after the last few were done for FDNY (same as they did to Superior in Red Deer). I was expecting SVI (supervac) to get in there, but Pierce does build sweet rigs Didnt Ferrera also get the Hose wagon contract from FDNY to replace the Saulsbury units?

lfdlt17 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Didnt Ferrera also get the Hose wagon contract from FDNY to replace the Saulsbury units? Pretty sure that Ferrara built all the satelite pumpers and high rise units for FDNY The last 2 rescues they got was a Pierce that they hate, hear it spends more time in the shops then it does in the firehouse. They got it with grant money from Homeland Security which Pierce has the contract with. The one before that for Rescue 6/Spare was an American Lafrance.

Wasnt that American Lafrance a 2002 or 2003 model? Yes the high rise units and one of the satelite replacements did go to Ferrara but im not 100% sure if they got the replacement contract for rest of them but im pretty sure they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenster102.5 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Will the FDNY replace it's Excursion fleet with Expeditions or Tahoe/Suburbans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Will the FDNY replace it's Excursion fleet with Expeditions or Tahoe/Suburbans? read FAJ every other month and you will find out IIRC they were looking at pickups with fold out modules in the beds (lots US departments are experimenting with this ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDNY only had 5 Rescue companies full time, I think after 9/11 for a short time Rescue 6 was only for temp use and the main used for the Lafrance was to be a spare rig for the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rescue 6 shared quarters with Ladder 20 in Soho in Manhattan.

TheAverageJoe Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Sorry for not knowing my terminology but what does FAJ stand for? I do have some older back issues for sale as below cost just to get rid of them That would be "Fire Apparatus Journal" A bi-monthly magazine that reports on new equipment/rigs from around North America Great Photo's too!
