The old Ivyland Tac unit was sold to the Bucks county SWAT team. It is currently being painted. We placed a new (for us) 2001 KME TAC piece in service in March 2007. It is a class A pumper with pump and roll capabilities, 4X4, and 300 ft of 1" bosster reel. 1250 pump 500 gallon tank. 100 ft 1 3/4" trash line front bumper, 2 1 3/4" crosslays, 1000ft 5", and 300 ft of 2 1/2" preconnect off the rear. Nice truck.

 

Next up for us to replace will be the Ferrara. 

Capt62,

 Thanks for the update on Ivyland.  What color is the SWAT team going to paint their "new" vehicle ?

Thanks again,

Bruce

Bruce,

Tac-33 was sold to a dealer in Lancaster about 2 weeks ago. I really have no idea where she will be going from there.Field -33 was sold about 6 years ago to a local contractor and is still around. Engine-33 the 1990 KME was sold to Tower City, Pa. Marine-33 the White whale was sold to a man that wants to fish with her on the Chesapeak and the old Zodiac when to a company in Delaware County.

All comments are mine and not the Fire Company I run with.

Bruce,

 

Not sure what color they are painting it. I was told by our Glick rep that it is currently being done though. I hope to get some pictures of it once they place it in service. 

Our new Spartan chassis for our new tower will be coming off line in October (I got blessed to go with our DC to drive it) and going to South Dakota for the body from Rosenbauer. Has anyone had ANY experience with this company back East?? Just wondering. Low bidder and not many examples around, just picking heads. Stay safe folks, Bob.

There're lots of comments in various threads in firehouse.com.  Opinions vary all over the board.  Worth reading if taken with the requisite grains of salt.

Stay safe out there, everyone goes home!

Does anybody know what Morrisville is getting with the money they got from the grant they won ?

 Many thanks,

 Bruce

Bruce, Got my first look at the old Ivyland Tac with the new paint job. It is the SWAT blue color now. Looks really cool.

I noticed L79 is for sale.  What did Doylestown decide on for its replacement?

Happened to hear that Doylestown is getting a new Pierce to replace 79's ladder.

Doylestown is getting the following:

They have ordered a Pierce Quantum 100' Aluminum aerial. The truck has a Pierce Quantum tandem axle Chassis with a Cummins ISM 500 hp engine with an Allison EVS4000 automatic transmi ssion. Seating for six (6) firefighters, air conditioning and TAK4 independent front suspension.  The truck has an aluminum body with roll up doors and a Waterous 1500 GPM single stage pump with a 500 gallon water tank. There is a Harrison 20Kw generator with Kwik Raze Optimum lights, two 200' cord reels. The 100' aluminum ladder has a 750 pound tip load, a Quick lock waterway and remote controls at the tip.  A March of 2009 delivery is expected.  Sold by Glick Fire Equipment of Bird In Hand, PA.
