[quote name='Truckman' post='165396' date='Nov 21 2007, 14:53 ']It could be that they were spec'd and built to the current nfpa standards at the time they were created, plus the District isn't going to spend more than it is necessary. A lot of cities are like that. Money is hard to get so they get what the standards call for. Just my thoughts...[/quote]
They all have their company patches on the sides and rear. They were also purchased back when the men were happy to have anything that stayed out of the shop for more than a week at a time, and the look just like all the E\-One pumpers of the same era. The only difference being the placement of the department logo not being on the front doors (ala the FDNY mack rescues of years past) We'll see what happens when the new squads start to arrive next year.
