Quote:The only rig that I had a request to shoot (hi, Kelvin!) was this 2014 Piece Arrow XT for DeKalb County, GA. Job #27066 features a 1000/500/30 setup.

This was an extremely impressive machine!!! An extremely fire ground efficient engine. Glad to see the Real Q2b back on the DeKalb County Fire Service Machines.

Quote:Junction City, Kansas will also be a Rosenbauer customer with the delivery of this Commander pumper. Not the cable-style valve control handles, a design that I really like.

JCFD does quite a lot of firefighting and they respond frequently on Interstate 70 from two fire houses. They used to have very standard normal fire ground efficent engines. The last Engine was a similar style design Pierce Arrow XT pumper. I would hate to be the Chauffeur standing on the rear step running the pump on busy Interstate 70. Truck traffic has increased since Kansas raised the speed limit to 75mph. I do agree Taylor the pump controls are very nice. With this machine they have switched from white over red to black over red. JCFD's historically accurate color is solid red. I guess if there is a positive this is the first machine in over forty years to have a mechanical siren.

Until the early 2000's all JCFD Engines were called Pumps. Pump 1, Pump 2, Pump 3. In the early 2000's an outside fire chief changed them to Engine 10, Engine 20, Engine 30. Now they have moved to Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3.

Quote:Also from the Spartan ERV folks is this pumper for Arlington, TX.

Arlington Fire Department always has very nice machines. They have remained very consistent over the years with low hose beds and side mounted ladders in a very durable urban finish. I am curious to see what replaces AFD Engine 11 after the accident last week that totaled it.

Thanks so much for posting these for those of us who wanted to be, but couldn't be there!

FDIC 2014 - Reliance - 04-14-2014

Thank you very much. Now were there any Canadian entries for us without passports to travel down to see & enjoy.

Great photos from the show! One of the Canadian entries included a Rosenbauer single axle Commander chassis with a Metz Ladder for Guelph, Ontario. A rather interesting setup.

FDIC 2014 - TacSupport1 - 04-14-2014

GREAT shots! I know how difficult and frustrating shooting at a trade show can be. You have a lot more patience then I!

FDIC 2014 - Roto-Ray - 04-14-2014

Alright, let's see where we left off...

A lot of people asked me what I saw that I really liked at the show. This unusual pumper from Spencer, with it's top-rear-mount pump and split hosebed certainly threw traditional design out of the window.

The Independent Fire Company #1 of York Twp, PA had this very well-laid-out walk-in heavy rescue on a 2-door KME chassis. Kudos to those guys for their work on this one.

Add a differential on the front end, matte black vinyl wrap with flames, and you get the HME Extreme RAT.
