According to the April 2017 issue of Maryland Fire Dispatch, AES is showing a two door cab - tandem rear axle Pierce Arrow XT hazmat unit and eight Pierce Arrow XT pumpers on order for DCFD.

As I pointed out, this was in an AES ad in the current issue of Maryland Fire Dispatch, not on the AES website. The ad included basic line drawings for the driver's side of these units. Unlike apparatus manufacturers and other Pierce franchises, perhaps it is an AES policy to only display shop drawings or trucks in production if the customer authorizes them to do so. I don't remember a lot of rigs from my former employer showing up under the Trucks in Production tab on the AES website.

Fairfax always thinks something is a secret but then photos always surface as soon as the rig hits the road from Pierce to AES or sometimes when people are up for midpoint inspections they catch photos and the new chief sends out monthly updates about special rigs like the tillers to his troops. It makes absolutely ZERO sense.
Good on DC for getting new engines hopefully they will have some more truck companies in the works soon too.

So, I walked out of a bar in Godknowswhere, Loudon County and came across four Seagraves sitting in the lot in an industrial park. Owing to the "Any photo is a good photo" mentality, I'll post them up here.

Missing the main...

Any chance you got the shop number off the front of Engine 14?

Nope sorry. I'm bad at that stuff, not a photographer, just a fireman with a cell phone.

Haha. Look it up, Ocelot Brewing Company. If you go on Google Maps you can see tillers around the corner on Satellite view.
The 4th Seagrave was an engine, have no recollection of it.

The place mentioned in this thread was First Vehicle Services Fleet Solutions, or as we call it FVS. Loudoun County (LCFR) and a few Volunteer Companies in Loudoun have been taking their apparatus to that shop since it opened a few years ago. Recently they picked up a lot of DCFD's work (as you can see). FVS seems to be doing well and picking up more business every day.
