Makes sense. I didn't think they were that old. Did Sutphen give them trade-ins on the E-Ones, or were they sold outright? Also, are all 4 Sutphens in frontline service now?

It seems like a long time ago but from what I remember they sold them outright, I know the tower ended up going to Canada. They bought two of the Sutphens as quints and two as straight trucks. After the merger the two trucks were sent back to Sutphen and retro-fitted with pumps and tanks. All four are currenlty in frontline service as Tower 32, 34, 35 & 45.
Here's a shot from the SMFR Annual report from that year of all four posed just after delivery
