I might have missed this but exactly why ladder 25's cab replaced? I saw a picture on www.massfiretrucks.com and it lookind in fairly good shape and newer then some of the ladders.

Correct me if I'm wronf but I believe that the entire Ladder came from a different department, I belive Weymouth?

Ladder the Cab came off of was a former Boston rig (L16) sold to and rebuilt by Weymouth which is located a few towns South of Boston. Weymouth replaced this truck and Boston some how eneded up with the cab.

Okay, I think then Boston got the cab from Weymouth and put it on Ladder 25 after Ladder 25's cab was damaged in an Mva a while back.

Thanks for the info. Funny how the whole circle of the cab worked Boston then Weymouth and back to Boston.

Weymouth traded the truck into the local E one dealer... the stick liked to move on its own once in a while....
Ladder 25 hit some thing.... The dealer then used the Weymouth cab(former Boston Ladder 16) on L 25's chassie...
They just put it on the frame and slapped some lettering on it... it still has the striping and some of the lettering on it from when it was weymouths.....

I was on the Pierce website looking under pumpers and there was the below picture. I is Boston engine two fighting what appears to be a Barn fire in the country. I am guessing a little phto shop took place. You guys might have to cut and paste the below link.

It appears that Pierce's graphics department has made a photo depicting a Boston Pumper at a working fire. I doubt if it was actually there. Beside the ride still belongs to the dealer until it is delivered to the city and has been accepted.

Boston Fire Department - Guest - 02-22-2008
Boston has 3 engines and 3 trucks being ordered soon i believe but they could use about 5 and 10 ASAP
Boston Fire Department - Guest - 02-22-2008
Not a huge fan of the done over Ladder 25...they didnt even take the time to restripe the cab i just think it was poorly designed on the exterior but the cab doesnt look all that bad on the truck

They went out for bid, E\-One/Greenwood got the bid. They are going to be built to the specs of Engine 29 & Ladder 2/Ladder 9. Hopefully they'll be here before the end of the year as the specs and contracts are done. We could use more then 5 pumpers, but less then 10 trucks.
