Seems South Burlington is on the "cutting edge" in rig deliveries. I'm surprised they replaced their Tower (which I believe was purchased used by a dept. in California) with a Quint, but it looks very professionally spec'd, as do the new Engines 1 and 2. My own personal opinion is that they should have gone with different side mirrors, based on negative feedback from a large department around here, who went with them on several Engines, Trucks and Rescues purchased in 2009, but since then have gone back to more conventional mirrors on their annual orders.
Sharp looking rigs!

From what I understand the quint was designed to store a 2 section 35ft ground ladder, the first I can recall of a single rear axle quint storing a 2 section 35 (vs. the ungodly 3 sections) inside the body rather than on the exterior......if its true I'd like to see it and it probably tells me that yes indeed, some deep thought went into the rigs design.
