DCFD Photos, old or new
In house work?

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.

Interesting that they kept the Philly orange stripe on it...

Probably at this stage, the DCFD needs trucks and that stripe won't make any difference.

Clean apparatus, clean floor, and shiny poles. Nice to see some pride still exists in the Fire service.

Haha When I asked that question I was told "one day". I do known DC bought a late model Seagrave TDA that belonged to a FD in Cali.

Reminiscent of when Chief Thomas Tippett purchased some old rigs from Richmond in the 1990s.

Is the pre-owned Seagrave going in front line service or reserve?

I stopped into the Firehouse Expo last month and was told that the final inspections were close to happening and the first batch should be delivered within the next few months. The Spartan rep was very nice. The jack spread will be a major change for us, but the trucks will make it work. I asked why no production pictures have surfaced and he didn't know.
