And not to get away from the FDNY topic, but the Rosenbauer comments might not be too far off. My dept has recently begun the process of replacing one of our ladder trucks. We met with the regional Rosenbauer dealer and according to them, they are the #1 selling apparatus manufacturer in the world with the exception of the United States. They claim they are second here in the US only to Pierce.
[/quote] No claims it is true Rosenbauer is the largest, oldest, and highest selling in the world but they are 2nd to Pierce in sales in the US but not for much longer if Pierce keeps going the way they are going.
As for KME's build time my department just had two pumpers delieveried and from pre build to final was about 4 1/2 months. Sales for everyone is down about 20-30% so there is plenty of space on the line for everyone.
