I am gonna let steve or john take this one, but from my understanding there swtching over to the FLM12s due to there size the big rosenbauer engines like engine 4 current is a 2004, its getting tough to get those down some of the city streets, and alley ways in the city so they wanted a slimer model. While the last batch of engines were those big old Pierce engines 5,6,7. They just wanted smaller

I may have missed it along the way in this thread, but is the return to the commercial cabs in Minneapolis simply a monetary issue? The new Rosenbauers look smaller overall than the Pierce E5 and others...Are they equipped differently or used in a different role, or just a change in body style for engine companies?
