Sugar Land Texas recieved a new 75ft Pierce Dash. Should go inservice in a week or two.

Looks good Jeremy. I look forward to stopping by and checking it out. I assume this was the creation of a certain E/O at 2's and a certain Lt. at 5's.


TEXAS RIGS - jbrown9079 - 06-29-2007

Yep, add 25ft, set of outriggers, couple of deluge guns, you'll have Community's Ladder. Its a sweet truck to drive, rides nice with the TAK-4 and rear airbags.

Just got a notice awhile ago that it might go inservice July 3.

I don't understand why they didn't spec the larger aerial to compliment L04 by getting another 105'. You have the overall chassis length, why not? And no foam huh? I am going to quit asking questions. Ha ha.


TEXAS RIGS - jbrown9079 - 06-29-2007

I thought it was a mistake also. Sugar Land is not growing out, its goin up. Two more buildings in Town Center alone. We'll see what happens with the dedicated ladder/tower rumor.

Very nice unit for Sugarland. I like the "full" raised cab and the full size LED bar. Great looking truck!!


TEXAS RIGS - jbrown9079 - 06-30-2007

I am not fond of the full height cab. Sugar Land has ares of low trees on some of the subdivisions. I forsee lights gettin some damage. The truck that is replacing is a 97 Pierce Lance with 75ft Telesqurt. It had the folding rails and still had damage done to it. Here is a pic of the truck its replacing. This one will go into reserve status and remain there for a couple of years.

You got Ladder 4 Jeremy. It was a 105', then a 96', now a 105' again. Ha ha. Thats enough for the mall and Town Center. It is a good looking apparatus. Doug and the committee did good. I know one thing for sure. It will be more reliable than the Tele-Squrt.
