Hmm. Someone sure did a nice job of posing that ALF for pictures ...

Regarding the person who posed the engine, I could not get her off of it to actually take pictures.



Then, I had a hard time prying her away from it when it was time for it to go back inside the building. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

The current Spartan/Smeal tower or the ALF before it?


TEXAS RIGS - Guest - 07-14-2009

The ALF version.


TEXAS RIGS - jbrown9079 - 07-18-2009

Sugar Land Fire Dept. Texas recently (07/16/09) put inservice a 2009 Spartan/Crimson 1500/750/30A/20B.

This unit replaces a 1999 Pierce Lance that will go into reserve status.

Looks good Jeremy. Was impressed the day I stopped by when ya'll were loading hose on it at 2's. The interior cab area for the FF's was very well done. Ya'll did good with it.



Although the warning lights......WOW. Did Gore have a seperate line item for LED warning lights? Ha ha. You will for sure be able to see it coming...and going.


TEXAS RIGS - Guest - 07-18-2009

Thats a great looking new engine for Sugarland.



The leds on top of the hosebed, are they multi-color? Or are they an arrow bar?


TEXAS RIGS - jbrown9079 - 07-18-2009

Thanks Larry, just hope we can keep it inservice and not having to go back to the factory again. Still some issues to work out of it. As for Steve, well, you gotta know Steve and I guess his love for lights.



Oh, yeah, Aldine is in the process of ordering two PUC's on a Arrow XT. Almost have the chief convinced to getting the Maryland Light Package on both. We shall see.



SLCPDEXPLORER - The lights on the top of the hose bed is part of the traffic arrow. We wanted a traffic arrow that wasn't a solid unit. This was the next option. Up close the lights are blocked by the top door. 15-20 behind the apparatus you can see all the lights. Also to note, the hose bed cover is air assisted in lifting. We had a close call with a hose bed cover slamming down due to high winds. Luckly for the FF, he was on the opposite side in the hose bed.
