With new wagons going to 411 and 430, any idea where their '05 Pierce Dash wagons are going?
Thanks in advance.

To me these look a lot more similar to the Dash's. I spoke with one of the Wagon drivers from E30 and he confirmed they do in fact have a shorter wheel base/length than the last batch of Velocity's. I'm liking them!!

I am sure that pretty soon once then are delivered Atlantic or Pierce will post the line drawings and then we will be able to get the wheel base dimentions to compare. I have the line drawings for the last back of Velocities on my computer somewhere.
Nate, I am not sure what my shooting plans are yet for any of my trips. I may take a swing down to richmond and points west on the May/June trip. I keep in mind that you would be interested in tagging along when I go out up in the NOVA area. I will probably be doing quite a bit of shooting.

These 2 new pumpers have 152" (Medium) bodies as compared to the last batch which had 161" (Long) bodies.

I saw one of the old flat roof E\-One Cyclone pumpers leaving on the hook from the North Apparatus Shop last week while I was at the Academy. The county FRD decal and shop numbers had been removed and I didn't get a chance to check the plate as I drove past.

I heard from someone the New pumpers are in the lot at Atlantic!

I can see the photo I was referring to didn't come through. I was referring to (or what looks to be) their old Pierce Arrow.
Sorry about that!

That is old Truck 8, a 1991 E\-One Hurricane 110ft V-7075 that also ran as Truck-29.

Engine 426 operating at the scene of an MVA on the inner loop of 495 near Springfield.

Stopped off at the apparatus shop - north today and caught up with the new Engine 411. While I wasn't a fan of the last batch of Velocity's I REALLY like the newer spec's. Shorter length/wheelbase... more compact. The rear hose bed appears lower also. And no more scary mirrors! Thumbs up Fairfax.
