I got beat to the station for pictures already, haha. There are a ton of pictures on Flickr under the username "Triborough" as well as a video of the first back-in on youtube under "Philadelphia Fire Department new Engine 37".
This I took the day of a 4 Alarm warehouse fire last year.

[sub]What does a "refurb" consist of for PFD? Like in the case with 37, I would assume this is the truck they'll be in for quite some time to come, but everything "cosmetically" pretty much still looks the same:[/sub]
[sub]Chrome bumper instead of replacing it with a Red steel bumper[/sub]
[sub]Vector bar instead of putting an LED bar on like all of the rest of the new trucks[/sub]
[sub]Same pitted out, dirty aluminum wheels that truck has had on it instead of new ones[/sub]
[sub]Halogen turn lights, etc.[/sub]
[sub]The list goes on, as I said this is just what I notice cosmetically, but normally when I think of a refurb it's a heavy one, and makes the truck being rehabbed easily comparable, again cosmetically, to all of the new trucks in the fleet.[/sub]

Well the reason this was refurbed was because it was in an accident and the pumps were smashed. So the pumps are new. I believe the Engine and all of the insides are new as well. The only cosmetic difference is the new coat of paint and LED tail-lights.
