I can tell you, the lack of room for the officer in the XT versus the Velocity and the Quantum is VERY noticeable. The XT is the last remaining 96" wide cab that Pierce makes, and the loss of those couple of inches make a lot of difference, especially when the officer's trying to don an airpack.



Just my humble opinion after weighing the good and the bad of all of the Pierce cabs.

I fully understand your point Taylor, as a big guy myself, I would like the extra few inches......however, and there is always a however. However, in todays day of safety while responding, you can't be belted in while donning an airpac....that should probably wait until your on-scene. I love raised roof cabs but come on they can promote unsafe practices while enroute.

I do this routinely. Simply don your turnouts, sit in the seat, put your airpack straps across your shoulders, then put your seatbelt on. You can still be ready to go on arrival without sacrificing safety.



As for catching a fire while your enroute back from another call, then those are the times where you should don your gear on arrival, as ever unpopular as that option might be!

If the officer was doing his job, we wouldn't have to have these conversations. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> And yes; I've been on both sides of this issue, and do not believe that legislating safety makes us one bit safer. Just one man's opinion. Cheers, TJ <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Ah, the voice of reason. It seems that we as a fire service do more training hours than we've ever done, but somehow just can't grasp a simple concept such as this. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> We have guys coming out of rookie school with college degrees (yep; I've got one too.), but they need a widget to tell them to put their seatbelt on. Just plain pathetic. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> And again, just one man's opinion. Thanks for tolerating my mini rant, I'll crawl back under my rock now. TJ <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Didn't see anyone post the pictures of the new Foam 426 yet, but I found these on Facebook of it on Atlantic Emergency Solutions page. Here is the link:

If someone wants to post them here go ahead.

Additional photo have been added to the page and it looks even sweeter than before also the specs from the facebook page are as follows



This is a Pierce PUC on a Quantum chassis. It has 2000 gallons of water, 500 gallons of Class B foam, Husky 60 foam system, 500 lb dry chemical system. We achieved 680 gallons per minute in pump & roll from the monitor and 500 gallons per minute from the front bumper turret. This vehicle also has a window deluge system with 4 nozzles directed at the windshield, and 3 underbody nozzles.

It is a free world and anyone can post anywhere they want. And it is a thread not a tread.

I think we should be welcoming a free and open exchange of information and pictures. In my view anyone posting picutres or information they have is a good thing.

I think that would be suicide by keyboard for him. By the way what is his issue.

[dcfdtech]

G2G, What is 26 or the county doing with the present Foam 26?? The new Pierce is a really lood looking rig!

[splinterhead]

Was some word that the old foam 26 may be heading out to Manassas to help cover the airport.

[rescueff]

What are the specs of the current Foam 26?
