Some might remember me posting a few (lol @ a few) pics of our new rescue (rescue 9) Well our district has got another new rescue (r-11) that just got finished being built over in Chehalis Wa

There are a couple (2) minor differences between our rescue and the new one besides the lettering (thats the very last thing to get done)

Lets see if anyone can pick up these 2 things that are different

 

(btw , I dont know why our training/ems officer likes fords so much .. .. wonder if he really isnt a she :jester: )

 

Another add-on there will be another unit coming sometime next year like these but with a smaller body on it and an f-550 4x4 chassis with the new 6.0 this one will be for station 15 rescue 15

k1500,

 

That is a nice looking pumper you have in your sig there.  Have any better pics of it??

sincityz71,

 

I will post a few of those but I dont have that many better pictures .

I have some more though but thats the only one of that unit  i have a couple pictures of its sister unit  I have none of the other sister all 3 of them are 1996 e-one freightliner fl80s 1250/750 engines 214-201-206

 

and a few pictures of the 2 newset engines from central states engines 210 and 213

Im not really a lover of Freightliners FL trucks.  I like the International 4700's and such.  Is EOne just about the biggest fire aparatus manufacturer??  Was on my way home from a friends tonight and stopped by to watch a whole mess of firefighters running excercises.  There was like 27 trucks from all over the place.  Few ambulances too.  They set fire inside a big concrete structure and then send teams into it and put the fire out.  Was pretty cool to watch!

It depends there are several out there just some of them Aerialscope , 4- Guys, ALF , Boise Mobile Equipment, Braun Northwest, Bronto Skylift , Central States , Crash Rescue Equipment servizes, Custom Fire Apparatus, Danko Emergency Equipment , Excellance, Emergency One (e-one), Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Firovac, General Safety, Hackney Emergency Vehicles, KME Fire Apparatus, Luverne Fire Apparatus, Marion Body Works, McCoy Miller, MedicMaster , Medtec, Metz Aerials USA, Mertz Fire Apparatus INC., Neel Fire Protection Apparatus Inc., Oshkosh, Pierce, PL Custom Emergency Vehicles, Precision Equipment , Quality Maufacturing, S&S Fire Apparatus , Seagrave Fire Apparatus , Saulsbury Fire Rescue , Smeal Fire Apparatus, Superior Fire Apparatus,  Sutphen , U.S. Tanker, Wheeled Coach , W.S. Darley Inc. , Leader Emergency Vehicles ..... there are more but thats all I can think of right off the top of my head :jester:

 

 

 

I think they are the biggest (e-one) . they are owned by federal signal corporation i think which also has 2 other apparatus manufactures superior from canada and saulsbury from the northeast

hard to tell a saulsbury or superior rig from an e-one unless you get up close enough to see the name on it

BTW e-one is out of ocala florida

K1500,

 I figured there were a few other rig makers but I didnt know who they were.  There was only a few trucks that I could distinguish what kind of engine they had in them.  Most sounded like Detroit 60's.  Do you guys have any ambulances that have been fitted by Collins??

Our old rescue was a collins rescue 101

BTW most fire apparatus in this dist has the cummins in them except the IH trucks have dt466s and the fords have the psds

Collins is based where I used to live.  Thats just why I was curious if you had any Collins equipment.  Do they use the smaller Cummins engines or the big bore diesels?

A winch? Is that one?

no,

 

ill just say right now that there are two clear lights under the lightbar and 2 tow hooks on the back diamond tread above the bumper

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
