I'm talking about the Pierce that you don't like, you ol' fart. Not the Seagraves. The Pierces have a pinnable steering wheel so that they can be transported and towed. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

In the July-August issue of "Fire Apparatus Journal" Curt Elie noted (in the Chesapeake Bay Area update) Montgomery County expected to award the pumper contract by the end of June. Just curious if that's happened & if so who was awarded the contract.[quote name='drfeelgood' post='172562' date='Dec 19 2007, 20:43 ']Any word about what is going to happen now with the Pumpers?[/quote]
Interesting. Were the spec's the same as the prior contract, or were they modified? Also has a delivery time frame been announced?[quote name='YeOldeEnjine' post='225325' date='Jun 30 2008, 09:53 ']Pumper Bid was awarded to Crimson.[/quote]

It shouldn't come as a huge shock to anyone that Crimson won the bid. 30some pumpers being build on Spartan chassis that have already been purchased....not many manufacturers fit the bill on that one.

Don't know the time frame, the specs WILL be the same, some small changes.

I was up at Pierce last week doing a pre-construction for a pumper. I spent about a half hour looking over the three Monty County Rescue's... BEAUTIFUL....Some people did a great job laying out and specing these units....Congrats

Wheaton Rescue still has a Mack squad. It does have an automatic, however.
