Ron,

Thanks for posting. They look pretty plain. Hopefully they are going to be adding a few more graphics to these.

To add to what steve said

Starting with the Ladder Towers and the engines this is how the new trucks will be lettered

Ladder 68 · 03-12-2009, 10:39 PM

Something to be said for a simple graphics package and simple, straight forward specs for a work rig.

How many in this order total and who is getting them? And where are the replaced rigs going if thats known yet?

Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing them.

They wanted to buy 10 but money was only there for 4 of them. They are replacing some of the busier companies in the northern part of the city. Engines 2,7,25,and 50. No word as of yet what will be done with the current pieces will most likely go to the reserve status.

The back of the body reminds me of the old style KME bodies when they were slanted in the back. Any reason PFD had their new trucks built like that? Is there a compartment in there?

One of my shots

Rear compartment

They look as if the bodies are spec'd pretty much the same as the '95 and '96 KME's (pictured) with the exception of the pre-piped deck gun.

They are with some updated lights.

Nice lookin' rigs. How come they did away with the front suction?

I heard no front suction and NO deck gun !!! It made them cheaper $$$$

Marc,

They did away with the raised roof, front suction, mounted deck gun, and went with a lesser graphics package to save money. The goal was to shave $38,000.00 off the price of each piece.

Nice rigs!!! Good luck with 'em.

Without the deck gun, do they have a portable monitor in its place or nothing period?

Fire.Dept.Teo · 03-13-2009, 08:48 PM

The batch of 1991 Seagrave pumpers they bought (pictured) were the first to have pre-piped deck guns. I guess they'll have to go back to the portable monitors again.

Even with the deck gun a portable monitor was also carried. The companies with these new pieces will just use the portable now.

**Marc** · 03-13-2009, 10:35 PM

Thanks for the info Jack!
