suppression pieces are in the budgeting phase. They have a good idea of what they want. From what i hear they may go with a spartan cab (used on rescue 206 and hazmat 202). Body manufactuer is unknown at this point. Sta 210 is slated to open FY13. Tower 3 is also slated to be replaced. all in all 8 maybe 9 engines and a tower at this point are up before the city officials.

Perhaps they will look to Red Storm Fire & Rescue Apparatus for the pumpers. They use Spartan chassis. Jim Featherstorm and a few others opened up shop and are the dealer for Custom Fire a regional apparatus manufacturer just across the border in Osceola, Wisconsin about 40 miles north of the Twin Cities. If Alexandria is going to buy from anyone different than Pierce I would like it to be Custom. I could run up and get shots of the rigs if they were built that close to me.
Here is their webpage.... http://redstormfire.com/contacts.html
They also have a pretty nice facebook page. I think they had Duluth, MN's new pumper out in the area late last year showing it off. Pretty nice rig.
