Miami Dade apparatus

[Juice]

I saw a video today that features Spartan/LTC's refurb centers. In the video it showcases a new Miami Dade reurb, which makes me wonder now; what does their fleet consist of? I can at least account for these-

 

Rosenbauer Commander pumpers

Pierce Quantum Pumper refurb

2 Pierce Arrow XT PUCs

2 Pierce Velocity towers, 1 rear mount and 1 mid mount

6 Sutphen SP 70 aerials

1 Sutphen SPH 100'

1 E\-One 75' Quint

1 LTC 75' refurb

How many ALF 75' remain?

How many Spartan/Rosenbauer 75' remain?

 

I know there are several other 1 off pieces such as the Quantum tender. As you can see, several different manufacturers, and of those, several different models. Anyone know the reason for such a variety recently? Normally it would be for the sake of studying apparatus/manufacturer performance for future purchases, but the apparatus are so different among the fleet, I don't see how they could possibly retrieve much data from any of them.

Travis,

 

I thought the Rosenbauers were actually 60 footers. Seems like I remember me and Stonitch talking about that fact a few years ago because they didn't get ISO aerial credit.

You're right, I forgot that they were only 60' thank you!

I'm fairly confident they have both 60's and 75's from Rosenbauer.  I think the 60's were to replace the older TeleSqurt style elevated waterways.  IN their nomenclature some are called Aerials others Ladders.

This looks relatively up to date...

There are at least 5 75' LTI aerials in various stages of re-chassising and refurb.

Any links?

If it was under 75 foot it was called an Aerial, if it was over 75' it was called a Ladder they have rosenbauer's of both sizes.

Trav, never heard of a velocity rear mount Tower in their possession, maybe a late 90's model Dash or Arrow assigned to Platform 34 or the reserve fleet.

It was the rear mount aerial I was thinking of, I realized after I posted this that it wasn't a platform, and forgot to change my original post. Are ladders 8 and 22 different trucks, or was one reassigned?

The Pierce velocity rear mount was lettered for ladder 8 upon delivery it was discovered that it was too long to fit in the firehouse so it never saw service at fire station 8 and was assigned to Station 22. Station 22 received one of the 70 foot sutphen mini towers so I do not know the current disposition of the Pierce velocity rear mount
