Quote:I am assuming this to be a real pic since it came from monrovia1, but it is missing reflective striping, if you go back and look at the other pierce engines there is striping around the front . surprised the shops let it go out without it
The reason this rig looks so difffirent is because S/N 60677 was once assigned to Engine 60 in North Hollywood. In Sept 09 during the early morning hours Engine 60 was dispatched to an unknown flooding call. While enroute they found a roadway coverd in water with so visible asphault the Captain instructed his Engineer to back up the rig as he did so the ground below gaveway and Engine 60 fell into a sinkhole and HR 56 was summoned to pull it out.
