This from martin Nowak:
Thank you to Squad546 for allowing me to post his pictures. Here are pictures of Engine 7 and Truck 2. Also info on a new unit.
- Engine 7- 2012 Sutphen Shield, will be assigned to them for a while. These rigs will not fit in the older stations, so the other two are at Engines 13 & 5.
- Truck 2. 2012 HME/Ahrens Fox 109′ quint.
A second 78′ quint will be arriving soon, it will be black/red until repainted blue/red … at least that’s what I’ve been told

Move the Lazy-Boy? Thats asking for trouble! I have a photo from ’05 and it was there back then. Hopefully before the end of the year the re-painting will happen and someone will post it here.
I’ve been asked many times about the 3-digit number on the cab of Gary’s rigs. The first 2 digits tell you the year it was ordered, not the actual build year of the rig, & the 3rd is how many in that series. It’s a system they’ve been using for over 50 years FYI.

They should have pulled the lazy boy chair out of frame before they let you shoot. Great photos though, and thanks for keeping us informed on the new apparatus.
