Had heard they had money for replacement towers but nothing solid ever spoken of. Guess that's changed lol. I know they have 4-6 Smeal heavy duty rearmount ladders on order and 6 Ahrens-Fox Squads on order as well

Smeal was not the low bidder.

I wonder why they would choose a rearmount tower and a midmount tower? Is this the first or only rear mount tower in Detroit history?




Detroit info and changes - KDWMAEMT - 07-26-2017

Only the midmount tower is a stock unit from what I'm told. The rearmount is a custom tower

Braun Ambulances. They are not usually the low bidders.
