With no new apparatus in the budget, you're going to see trucks spending more times in the shops. Why get rid of a perfectly good rig that has held up better then the HME/Smeals's with the side benefit of having a storied history besides just being the last Mack?Actually, the HME/Smeals held up good. The mechanics at The Shops wished they won this pumper bid rather than Ferrara.
12-Engine has been in a 1998 HME/Smeal for months while their ALF is out being repaired.
