Four E\-One Metro Rearmount Aerials were ordered late in 2015, we are awaiting delivery of them now. I believe that they well replace the 2004 Pierce Dash Aerials currently in service with Ladders 7, 11, 19 & 21. Money has been allocated (by cutting the next Academy class, scheduled to start on 2/25, in half from 50 to 25) to purchase an additional 4 Metros. They will be assigned to Ladders 25, 17, 18 & 29 to replace the 1998 E\-One of L25 (nothing else fits into their house) & the 2014 KME's as the Department would like to completely rid the fleet of KME's as quickly as possible. Engine 10 is scheduled to receive a 2015 KME dual stage HP pumper capable of pumping 2000gpm at some point soon. After that we will no longer be ordering any more KME's from what we've been told.
