Interesting. The blueprints look a little on the hefty side. Didn't Montgomery County, MD go a similar route? Considering the Mutual-Box region involving Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax I'm surprised. E410 (Dash with short wheel-base), Arlington's rigs (Pierce Arrow XT's) built for tight street mobility, etc. I mean NO disrespect but I have never understood some of Alexandria's rig spec's. First there was Rescue Engine 56, then Engine 56 stationed with Rescue 56 (with only one crew to single pull between the 2), then the rather large "Extrication Engines". Truck 58 (sorry, 208) was a smart buy in my book. Why the switch, and large crew cab (I think they roll their Engines with just 3), right. Either way, Dave, thanks a lot for posting.
