Several of the
Pierce dealers actually do post progress photos. The folks out in the northwest and down in Texas both post the progress reports they get each week on their websites.

Mechanical engineers build weapons, whereas civil engineers build targets.
When the man at the door said," Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms", I, naturally assumed it was a delivery!

Not really an issue except they had the drawings up and removed them, then password protected the other units under construction. As far as Crimson they have a ton of under construction shots. Don't really care, I was wondering what caused the issue at Custom Fire and why Alexandria wasn't on the Crimson site.
I don't know all the in's and out's of Alexandria's way of doing things. What I will say is since their dishing out the cash THEY, not the manufacturer, are ultimately in charge of what is posted publicly. If Alex says "post the production procgss of our rigs" I highly doubt the manufacturer will say no. It's not as if we're going after another Bin Laden. They're Fire trucks. No stealth tactics necessary.

So drove through the City yard today there was a
Pierce dash in the mechanics bay that was lettered E207 but was not the dash they had before the 86 ford, and out back sat a 07 Peterbuilt. No manufacture plates just an alabama temporary tag. had lots of Foam markings on the pump panel?

If they are Red/White and Peterbuilt/E-One's they are former Sarasota County, FL. rigs.

This may be the
Pierce as well. Both are listed on the site as "on lease, available for sale".

Damn hit the nail on the head twice. The Contender was in the mechanics bays lettered 207 and the Pete was outside. I love this website and how fast people figure things out.

Well at first i thought the commercial cab was not from Longwood, but after looking more closely.... id say it is very possible.... aside from the paint job and the rotary single vector type lights in the rear (which knowing Longwood may have been a fix to something breaking) and not a round LED clear lensed light.... this unit is very very similar and is possibly from Longwood, Fl
