I do not like the county spec for pumpers. Why can't we keep it simple and learn from someone like arlington who chose to keep it simple. The units so far look like rescue engines when they should just have the minimum space to carry the minimum engine company equipment. Is there really a reason for the "frenched in" ladders on stonewall's and dale city's rigs. Horrid. I would rather bust out the old Hahns or E-Ones and run those up and down the highway. Good luck to Stonewall on their new Pierce, May your luck be way better than what we have had at Belvoir. I'm sure we will have a few units sitting at Atlantic when your pumper is delivered. On a side note- Kudos to Dale City for going with KME and trying something different. I hope those units do well for your department.
[/quote] Have you ever asked someone who may know why or just listened to the "chatter". What do you consider simple looks or function?? I'm sure if you asked the right person you would have a much better understanding as well as realize these rigs are very "simple" for PWC standards.
