Xplorer4x4 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thought this might be interesting. I live in a major city, by local standard. It is regional hub. However it is surrounded by mostly rural territories so some of them still use some ancient apparatus from the 70s and 80s.For example one township purchased a 1989 Ford C/E-One Pumper as there primary engine...in 2006!Anyways, for my city, the oldest truck in service, is Engine 2 a 1988 Spartan/FMC PumperAnd the newest arrival is Quint 16, a 2010 Quint from Ferra Fire. It is a 105 or 107 foot quint if memory serves me right. Don't have any pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneymillerpca Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 My home town of Bristol Pa. has an old 1957 Ahrens Fox Pumper not in active service. I have seen 2 more one in NH and another in SC both of those where still in service. If I understand correctly only 6 where ever made. I would love to see the other 3.

Newfoundking Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Used in the station for my side of town, it's a straight stick ladder, and shares house with a newer spartan ladder and a spartan pumper. It's only 16 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b2bomber Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 well 2010 for the hebron fire was a very big one. I am moving away from that area but here is what we have just recived in the last year...Hazmat 373- 2010 Freightliner/ Summit CBRNE Response Unit (Tractor Trailer) (NKY HAZMAT TEAM/ for Cincinnati area as well)Engine 351 and Engine 352- two twin 2010 Pierce PUC Impel Pumper replacing a 2003 ALF Peice of crap pumper and a 1986 Ford Pierce Pumperand our newest oldest rig that we have is this unit right here...Engine 356-(this was token before the just retired 2003 ALF pumper was put into service so it decal is E352) It was E351 but when we put the twin pucs in they took the place of E351 and E352. So now this engine has taken the place of the old E356 in which was just retired (1986 Ford Pierce Pumper). its a 1992 Pierce Dash Pumper here's the departments apparatus page...http://hebronfire.org/apparatus.htmEDIT:here's a website link from a photographer that does apparatus photos in our area about hebron's district...http://nkyfireapparatus.homestead.com/hebron.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only 16 years oldInteresting, I have seen pumpers on a an International Chassis like that but not a straight stick, much less a truck in general.This is the oldest in the Surrey Fire Service1982 IHC-CO1850B/1984 Anderson 500/1400http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz287/goog67/ST9byShaneMackichan.jpgInteresting, reminds me of the old Ford Pumpers.

TacticalRooster22 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Here's our newest truck. Went into service May 2010, Pierce PUC 75' Quint. First responding engine, shares the station with the Tower and 2 ALS Amobs. It replaced an old KME Rescue Pumper, pretty nice rig. About our oldest truck...actually for some reason it was at the station today. It's 1986 (I think) Pierce Arrow or something. I have no clue where they keep it, they might've sold it or something.

MCERT1 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Oldest truck in service in Erie County,PA1971 Maxim Ward LaFrance, serving as the second engine with Fairfield Fire Department.Technically the one other department has an older reserve ladder, which has a 1989 LaFrance cab on a 1949 chassis.

Voodoo_Operator Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Montreal still operates a couple of '90 Macks and '92 Freightliners as main engines in some stations. But to be fair, most of them are being phased out since a couple of years and are turned into reserve units. For the last 5 years, they've all been replaced with E-One engines like this one: Unlike a lot of fire engine buffs, I'm not a big fan of the Q siren they've got on the new rigs. I miss those old deep-sounding Code 3s.Ok, so I realize the early '90s doesn't seem that old. Here's something else, though. This "thing" was in service until the early 2000s. Retro rotating beacon FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.F.D Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Calgary recently just received a new fleet of Engine and Rescue bodies to replace the older ones. They are manufactured by Smeal, and furbished by SVI.Here's a video of the new Heavy Rescue Also not to mention the General duty Rescue apparatus. I'm going to show you a few more videos showing some of Calgary's already placed-in-service rigs.Engine 11 ( Aerial 6) Pumper Engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I presume this isn't America only...? Anyway, things work a little different here in England so I've done county rather than city, being as there's probably more Fire Trucks in your city than in my county. Anyway oldest Appliance is this 1992 Operational Support Unit based in Aylesbury, contains all the Heavy Rescue gear, we now have Prime Movers that kind of outdate this truck but its still about.The newest depends what you class as a truck or appliance. These 3 unit all date from 2010 and are Operational Support, Water Rescue and a Station Car but none really have a prime firefighting role.However, an actual Firefighting Appliance would be this 2009 Scania Rescue Pump based at High Wycombe.Hope that puts a different spin on things,The OC-DEDIT: If anyone's interested Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service have a webiste with 'Meet The Fleet' on it: http://www.bucksfire.gov.uk/BucksFire/Fire+Stations/Meet+the+fleet/Fleetlist.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather respond in a smart car then that thing.Not the best pic but heres our newest arrival. Its a 2010, I think, Ferra. I believe this is now the biggest/tallest ladder truck in the city.

theocd Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 You don't like the Mitsubishi? They've found them really useful, they used to have Vauxhall Astra Estates and every time it snowed they were crap. Nobody quite freaks out to the same extent over a bit of snow like the English....
