Detroit Fire Department to finally receive new apparatus

[Guest]

Some of the bodies are currently under construction...

 

If all holds like past DFD deliveries they should all arrive within a few days of each other.  I'm not familiar with Smeal's abilities, building practices or delivery times but from my 13 years in the business that would sound about right for a early summer delivery.  Of course that is all going off what an average pumper delivery build should take, now with how busy they are that may slow that down the delivery time even more.

 

I eagerly look forward to these hitting the streets.  I for one hope they hold up for DFD.  It would be great to have another competent builder for DFD to be able to go to.  My dreams of a Seagrave DFD again are likely to never happen but as long as they are riding in working equipment from a builder that is half concerned when they have issues that would be great!
