Engine 57 was sent back to Rosenbauer for an addition of a third axle. According to our shop foreman it will be a true axle with brakes and all. It will also allow the rig to run with a 22.5 inch tire as oppose to current 24 inch tires it was running. Lots of controversy over this rig. No time frame as how long it will be gone. Also the new Haz-Mat 114 is at our shops having equipment mounted. Nice truck well thought out lots of room for everything

To be accurate, it will have the single axle removed and a tandem axle installed. They will not just simply be adding a third axle.
