Well first off it had been moved to the station on Carlls Path. Then around summer/fall 05 it failed inspection, had a crack in the 2nd fly. The BOFC chose not to repair it, and put it up for sale. Mt Sinai bought it and invest at least 75k into refurbing it. In Jan we replaced one of our engines withaa 75' quint instead. That too is located at the station on Carlls Path.

Good luck with the new rig, but a smart move by Mt Sinai redoing the Mack..

Is it true your new quint cant reach most of the houses in your district or is that jsut a rumor?

if we take the driveway we can LOL. Most houses in the district are set back well over 75' they knew this though when they bought it. Though the guys in the company, when the shit hits the fan they will put it wherever they need to, to get the job done thats for sure. The only places the houses are close enough are down the south end of straight path and off carlls path, where they are only like 25' from the street
Its also been OOS 4 times this month, twice to Atlantic diesel for engine issues, hopefully they got it this time.
