[quote name='Tillerman1664' post='169089' date='Dec 5 2007, 17:26 ']Thanks, 9 trucks, 3 Rescue Squads, and 2 Haz-Mats, before the first engine ever comes in. But we have 36 of them, no pumps or bodies, but we have 36 of them. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

5 All-Steer Towers- 3,8,18, 35, 19 or 1
3 Rescue Squads- 3, 17, 29
2 Haz-Mats - 7, 28
They are not sure about witch truck will go to 19 or 1. Right now they want to put the TDA at 19 and the Tower at 1, but the TDA will not fit at 19. There may be a short TDA built and or the building fix for it to fit.
Hopefuly the towers will be here by the first of the year...

This is what I have of the Haz-Mats...

I was in the photograghers lounge when the red phone rang alerting us Maryland guys that there were 2 Pierce TDA's at Singers so I ran over there and got the best shots I could with the weather as it was. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Here is Truck 706 that will be going to Bethesda.Terry
Montgomery County MD - dawson_fire - 12-07-2007
Truck 725 is going to Kensington.Not the best shots but I don't have control over the weather and maybe someone will get better shots before I get back down there.
Truck 706-job#19138-01

The word that I got is that the 5 rear mounts will start being inspected on Monday 12/10/07 and delivered to Linthicum in 7 to 10 days.
The next 3 TDA's are due in January with a week or so between them,that's what I was told, not sure why there is time between them
The rescues are not due until March of 2008 give or take a little.

Terry are these Arrow XT chassis? You did okay shooting these two rigs. Winter is kinda tough. Thanks for the numbers as well.
c-ya
Montgomery County MD - dawson_fire - 12-07-2007
Bill they are indeed Pierce Arrow XT's and I know I will get another chance and people love to see new trucks in the cold weather months to get them back to summer!
I did not check the other one but I would assume it is 19138-02.

I don't know if I am a very big fan of the new LED roto-rays after seeing these rigs. I like the older ones, just because they were a little bigger. The new ones just seem so small. The trucks look great though. I like the new color scheme.

What year are these units 2007 or 2008 ?
Nice looking TDA

Probably been done before, but the painted boxes for the HVAC units on the cab roof are much nicer looking than the diamond plate we usually see, in my opinion. Nice looking photos of sharp rigs.

It doesn't hurt my feelings in any way but did my pictures get moved to this thread as a housekeeping move or did my little comment about twins not sit well. Just wandering,not mad or anything...
