8 Pierce and 8 Seagrave wagons. A new custom designed cab called the "DC cab". New Hazmat Support Unit and Aerialscope in production now. The new Tower 3 has an arrival date of around April 2018. I'm surprised no pictures have surfaced yet.

We were up in Clintonville last month for a precon and saw Engine 21 which was near completion.  The word on the floor was it was going to be called the "Capitol Cab".  They didn't want any pics until it was finished.  It's gotta be close to delivery.

Why two different engine manufacturers?

Is split ordering like this a purchasing requirement within D.C. Government?
