The pictures I see on the internet, even from new appliances, still have the good old stripes on it. This Ladder is what I believe, from a fire brigade in the state of New York. So not the FDNY. But perhaps someone from the States can confirm this ??

Yonkers Fire department is just outside of NYC. It is not the same as FDNY. The traditional FDNY stripes are still in use.

For a city of just over 200, 000 people, Yonkers has a very well staffed and superbly equipped fire department, even by American standards. Wikipedia has a very comprehensive article about the department, including history, stations, apparatus and organization. For anyone interested in larger city fire departments in North America, Wikipedia has numerous quite detailed entries for most of them, although they do differ somewhat in how deeply they go into things. In addition, some are more up to date than others…
