Job #15718

 

Originally Ordered by: 

McCoole Fire & Rescue Dept.

McCoole, MD as Truck 23

 

Never Delivered...... sold by Pierce Mfg. to Espy Fire Co.

 

   
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!

I guess they didnt like the truck?     How does that work anyways if a dept doesnt like the finished build?

If I'm not mistaken, McCoole FD was disabanded awhile back - not sure how this played into the aerial purchase.

As noted below, the department disbanded, and their fleet was sold to other departments.  Their really nice rescue is now in service with the Lancaster Twp (PA) VFD as Rescue 66.

 

As for a department "not liking" a rig at completion, that's the departments problem as long as the manufacturer built it to the agreed-upon specifications.  If the manufacturer didn't meet the specifications, then they're under obligation to make it right (things like performance bonds will help the customer ensure that if the rig isn't right then there are financial compensations made to the customer).  Depending on the severity of the problems with the vehicle, the department can reject it altogether.  Norfolk, VA did this for an aerial last year in fact.

I saw that truck at Pierce back in the day and I was told it was for sale as for why McCoole never got it is offically unknown to me.
