FDNY New pumpers.........

[e290l103]

if they are building them the cart is way ahead of the horse. bid has not been awarded. lets jump ahead and suppose they did get it, the scenario you described is exactly what will happen. their bread and butter sales to small departments will have to wait in line. and those sales will go elsewhere. and then the warranty issues begin on the big city rigs. and then the company goes down the drain. ALF 1985... Ward 79 1990... why KME would want the headache of dealing with the issues that occur with the warranty is beyond me. I guess nobody from Nesquehoning has ever driven the streets of NYC. the rigs in LA will last 30 years because the streets are glass smooth. the streets of NYC outside Manhattan look like the B-17's just made a bombing run, and that alone beats the hell out of the rig. not to mention the Winter conditions.
