In January of 2016 the Board of Fire Commissioners tasked members of the Bedford Hills Fire Department in planning a committee to replace our current Rescue 10, a 1995 International/Rescue 1.

After hundreds of hours of research and development, countless meetings and day long work sessions, the Apparatus Committee came up with a set of specifications that will not only serve the needs of today but the needs of the future of the Bedford Hills Fire District.

Our new Rescue 10 will feature a 2018 Seagrave Marauder II cab and chassis, seating for eight firefighters, and a walk-in rescue body for storage of equipment only, No firefighters will ride body of the apparatus and the officer will have constant communication with his crew. The committee felt this was the safest option for all members, by not having firefighters have the access roof top compartment or exit from the rear of the vehicle before a safety zone is established especially on the interstate and parkways.

We thank the Board of Fire Commissioners, Seagrave Fire Apparatus and Hudson Valley Fire Equipment, LLC for working with us to build our new Rescue and look forward to it hitting the streets of Bedford Hills in Spring of 2018.
