Pierce Dash CF

[Guest]

I had a chance to crawl around the CF and it had some very nice features.  The PUC I don't like as much as a traditional engine company design.  My question is, when are they going to figure out the cooling system so the CF can be offered in a standard engine company design (you know non-PUC)?  Maybe that is what Baltimore City is looking at.  Of course, they run some Squad/Engines and maybe that's what they are looking for in the PUC design.  I think if they offer the CF in a standard pump configuration they would sell even more.  Just my 2 cents...

I have the preliminary specs for the Baltimore engines.  Unfortunately it is the PUC design.  For some odd reason the people who are in charge of purchasing our apparatus don't ride it and that has been why we have been so unhapy with our engine design for the past several orders.  We were hoping for Arrow XT's or even the Saber since Pierce is offering that as a cab option again.  As of right now all Baltimore has on order are two Pierce 100 ft TDAs.  I can only hope that they opt for a different cab option before signing a contract.  My company is due to get a new pumper and based on the specs measurements because of the "west coast mirror" design it will give me about 3" on either side of our door backing in.
