I think the bid went to Spencer Fire App. Also from what I was told a new Rescue Engine is in the works for Wilkensburg FD / NOW PBF ENGINE 16. Wilkensburg did Rescue and now that the City took over Wilkensburg FD it will need to do extrication/rescue work, as Pittsburgh EMS is not providing EMS/Rescue to Wilkensburg. Also Wilkingburg received a grant for an engine.

From what I heard, the city had thrown out all bids and was to re-bid. Not sure how true that is. Wilkensburg, did receive a grant for a new rescue/engine, when that comes in, it will be the new PBF 16 Engine. The ladder, Pierce engine, and Mack CF are to be sold.
