3 New FDNY Rigs

[NewJerseyFFII]

Ferrara Fire Apparatus has delivered three new Mack MR688P chassis cab rigs to the FDNYwith walk around rescue bodys, onan 25 K generators. And two more trucks are under contract with the "NYPD" for emergency service rescue units.I do not have any information on the FDNY company numbers or fire houses that will get the new rigs!

Also shown on that page under rescues in a new HAZMAT 1 truck and what looks to be a Decon Truck.

I believe H-2980 is Rebreather Unit 1, out of SOC, but don't quote me on that.

You better not let the Pierce guys see this.

They are not model year 2007 trucks, they where delivered in 2006 ! The New York City police Department rescue's will be 2007's

I don't see why not, they got to build there 1 Rescue rig to try to get there foot in the door over at the FDNY ! So far it's not working .

What is the difference between a Ferrara Invader 2 chassis cab & a Ferrara Intruder 2 chassis cab ?

[npfd801]

I believe the Intruder is an HME cab built to their specs, the Invader a Spartan...

What makes you so sure Pierce wants to get their foot in the FDNY door? Just because they built ONE rescue truck for them under GSA contract? The FDNY contract is not as glamorous as you might think from a manufacturer/dealer perspective. Pierce already sells plenty of rigs without needing the "prestige" of being able to claim they supply FDNY.

You have a good point there,but Seagrave Fire Apparatus depends on the FDNY contract for 50 trucks a year. It is a good size apparatus contract for them, maybe FDNY will award the other rescues to Pierce under the GSA contract ?

I caught wind that Pierce dumped quite alot of money (i.e. tens of thousands)into the new Rescue 1 above and beyond warranty work after it was delivered just to keep FDNY happy.

Although I don't know the details (a little north of us) I am not at all surprised that Pierce stepped up to the plate to take care of a customer.

Wow....You mean they kept having to repair it over and over again???

Firematic supply, NOT Pierce...

as verified some time ago on nycfire.net, most of the OOS time was due to a collision. Also it was reported that the member's of Rescue 1 are very happy with the Pierce
