Quote:Anybody have the year of the e-one cyclone II assigned at engine 38 of south metro. He look like new.
As SFDProbie said, I'm pretty sure it's a 2007 or 2008 at the latest. It doesn't see much duty so it's in very good shape.
Quote:How does South Metro like the Unimog? I've always thought they were cool-lookin' rigs, but wondered how well they worked for wildland operations.
The Unimog is pretty well liked and does amazing in off-road operations. From inside, the windshield feels very big and it's a little intimidating when the rig takes a steep angle. To me it feels very roller-coaster like. I talked with the Chief of Fleet Maintenance a couple weeks ago and he said it will likely be sold in the next year or two. A private company that moved into the local airport is purchasing an E\-One Titan which will replace the Unimog.
