This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

Today I attended a demonstration/showing of the new Pierce Ascendant aerial.  Even though I have retired, I am still involved with my FD's purchase of our new Quint 3, which has been in the process for 4 years.  Ground should be broken for the new Station in the next couple months.  We wrote the specs 4 years ago, but since this is a new product, we wanted to check it out.  It's a nice concept and a nice ladder, but overall, not suited to the needs of our department.  We'll be sticking with what we've been working on.
