Cab shots...
Phoenix Metropolitan Area Fire Apparatus - Image7801 - 10-28-2013
The back is pretty roomy and comfortable - Seats 4 with no SCBA seats.
EPCR Toughbook mounts

BTW - Just for perspective, I'm 5'11" and the door handles are at eye level. This is a really tall rig... The photo of the rear of the cab was taken holding my camera over my head!

EPCR Toughbook mounts..
Okay, I will bite, why two? I know we had major issues with our ToughBook ePCR stuff when I was still employed but two?

Two mounts - and in the rear - plus the MDC in the front for the officer? We use a single MDC for CAD, mapping, GPS, GIS, and EPCR. You have any more information?

That's just the standard. Mostly for assuring at least one is available to use, in case the other is down for maintenance, etc...

The MDC in the cab doesn't come out and only has CAD on it. It's supplied and supported by Phoenix through the auto aid consortium. The EPCR Toughbooks are owned and supported by Peoria.

Had a nice reply all typed up and lost it... Thanks for the photos though, before I screw this one up too!

Neat rig, a type 1 rig with type 3 capabilities. The spare tire lift is a nice touch.
Any idea why Peoria went with a FL over a International?

Sweet pics Goodyear got 2 new KME Engines

Three answers to that: 1) Peoria's had good luck with the four other Freightliners in the fleet (2-LT's, 1 MMRS, 1 Decon). 2) The equivalent IHC (the WorkStar chassis) is even taller than the M2 4x4 that is under E199. With the varying heights of firefighters (the shortest is 5'1"), that would have made a really, really tall rig. 3 (this is only my theory; nobody has said anything to this effect) - The two IHC's that Peoria had fatal problems with the DT530 engines. One got retired with a cracked block, the other got retired with another fatal engine problem that I can't remember. Granted, those may have been a fluke and the two rigs were late 90's vintage, but I figure that had something to do with it.

Quote:Sweet pics Goodyear got 2 new KME Engines?? Interesting. They were totally Pierce since the early 90's. No doubt related to the fact that they have a newer chief and KME is making major moves in the valley. They were the largest exhibitor at the AZ Chiefs show in July; Pierce didn't even show up. Any photos? I'd love to see a KME in Goodyear's White/Yellow.

Thanks for the info...I can only imagine the headaches the IT department has!

Controlled drug box (standard in this location on all Peoria rigs)
Not to nit pick but having a nice shiny rig and there's rusty screws on the shiny diamond plate box. 12 Stainless Steel screws and it would look even better.
Great looking rig
Phoenix Metropolitan Area Fire Apparatus - Image7801 - 10-29-2013
Yeah, I noticed that. I'll have to give them a hard time about it...

That Engine 199 looks sharp

Of particular note is that the Rosenbauer dealer for the area is owned by Freightliner of Arizona.

Not yet, Goodyear ordered a 3rd KME Engine due in the spring. The Pierce Engines were about $700,000 a piece vs $425,000 a piece for a KME
They awarded the bid to KME because they got a bargain price, exact quote from there town manager at the city council board meeting
time will tell if they got a bargain.
