Does DC put anything on the tiller axles for dealing with the snow?

No they are just for steering.

DC Truck 2 and Truck 8 are up for viewing on Seagraves website, under new deliveries. Can't wait for Spring to get here, so I can get some nice shots of them.

dcfireman, nice shots! They look tough in the snow.

Hope they are still in good shape by the time you get here to get some pics. Those two companies are not know for taking care of apparatus.

Satans Child, I take it you work on Truck 2?? Any chance of arranging something in the spring. I know that the streets are pretty busy around the station. I had T15 go to a park last year. You can send me a pm, or an email pshoop@hotmail.com
Thanks

Off the cuff...what is the ball park price of the typical DCFD spec wagon from the last purchase? Just the rig, no equipment.
Thanks in advance.

Shop serial S-173 (Engine 33) was delivered with a price tag of $399,705 as one of eleven 2006 Seagrave pumpers.

Shop serial S-175, delivered to E-18 in 2008, ran $460,511. S-176, E-26, was the same. I believe the bids included equipment.

and warranty
DCFD Photos, old or new - Ladder 68 - 02-13-2010
Thanks for the pricing cost. I assume by the pricing difference, DCFD didn't buy equipment with the rigs in '06?
Any idea on the cost split between rig and equipment on the '08 rigs like E18?
Thanks in advance.

There are people with more specific info about the DC prices and what they came with, but I can tell you that the warranty DC got added to the cost.....and the price of steel went up considerably in 08 , my volly house speced out a wagon that is very comparable to the DC spec in the end of 07 beginning of 08 and by the time we finalized things we went with a Caterpillar motor as opposed to a Detroit due to the price of steel going up with the economy taking a dump.
The volly pumper was $412k and some change (but only a 1 year warranty) and less than 6 months later someone tried to go with our specs and the price they were quoted was in the $480k - $490k range due to rising costs of things.

Good information. That is where I was headed with the idea to get a true "work" rig without all the bells and whistles...
And if we could keep the price in the $450K range trying to get 2...
Thanks again.

Engine 3’s 2002 Seagrave (S-137) dropped the chains today – sunny and bright and lots of pavement showing as DPW works around the clock at snow removal. February 13, 2010
DCFD Photos, old or new - dcfireman - 02-13-2010
The snow conditions surrounding Engine 3 at 14th and E St. NE, following the recent storm, belie the conditions encountered at most recent fires. February 13, 2010

A couple members of Engine Co. 7 advance a line from their position on E St. to the rear of 1424 Duncan Pl. NE. Some deep pockets of snow still envelop many intersections and all alleys. February 13, 2010

Truck Co. 13 had dry pavement and a few shoveled sidewalks today, but walking from one to the other was a trick. February 13, 2010
