It's been about six months now, how are the KME's holding up? We're in the process of ridding the vast majority of our fleet of them, keeping only 1 Tower, 1 Rearmount & 2 Heavy Rescues due to our issues with the MaxxForce engines that were installed in the others. We've started replacing them first with 9 E\-One Metro aerials this year and will continue with 23 new E\-One pumpers. We're taking possession of the prototype in January & assuming everything is fine we're expecting to take possession of the first 11 by September 2017. They will be built on Typhoon chassis & have a custom built pump panel
