FDIC 2014

[Roto-Ray]

Last for the evening before I head to the firehouse is the "new" Enforcer from Pierce.  Let's be clear: the only thing that the new Enforcer shares with the old one is the name.

 

The new Enforcer is going to be the high-option model of the Saber, much like the Velocity is to the Impel.  Sabers will continue to come out of the Florida facility exclusively, whereas the Enforcer will be an Appleton product.  The Enforcer will provide you the option of air-bags, TAK4, and a big-block Detroit with a 4000EVS.  The dash and doghouse have been re-done in both products, as well as the AC and the AC drain lines (which have been a problem in Pierces for many years).  These are also 96" cabs while the V & I are 99" cabs.  The Enforcer & Saber don't have a low-cut windshield like the Dash CF so it has a more traditional look than the Dash CF or V & I.

 

Additional options and platforms (PUC, etc) will be released in the future.

 

There is more discussion on the new cabs in the Apparatus Scuttlebutt section here on Firepics.

 

More to come later, hope you've enjoyed so far!
