Sweet pic tks,  Any word on when the 3 commanders will be delivered  ?

Still 8-10 months out on the Rosenbauers.  I confirmed they will be on the Commander chassis, and will replace rigs at 192, 193 and 195 (I believe).  It hasn't been fully decided yet, but the Spartan/Rosies may go directly into reserve, as 192 and 195's rigs (both 2010's) have more miles and have been run harder than the mid-2000 era ALF's at 196 and 197.  The ALF's are apparently in somewhat better shape (much slower stations) and the crews are fairly happy with them.

 

Some other exciting Peoria news is that there is a new Ladder scheduled for FY17, to replace Ladder 191's 2003 ALF 93' MM.  From what I'm hearing, the new rig will likely be a Rosenbauer Commander mid-mount tower.
