According to the area Pierce dealership web site another Arrow-XT 100' TDA has been delivered to the Seattle Fire Department. It's listed as a June delivery, Job 22751, but apparently the company assignment has not yet been specified. If anyone knows the assignment please let us know. I believe the only stations that can accommodate this new truck where there is a need to replace a rear mount truck are 17's, 28's and 31's, where older rear mounts Ladders 9, 12, and 5 currently reside.

I made a correction to part of the statement above referring to older rear mount trucks in front line service. Sorry for the confusion.
Since the new Pierce Tandom Axial TDA is now in service and assigned to Ladder 9, it's former rig, the 1998 ALF Eagle Becker/AI 100' TDA, will spend some time in the shops, then it will be reassigned as Ladder 5. Another correction must be noted, 31's station is too short to house a new Pierce Tandom Axial TDA, by about 7 to 10 feet.
