As I pointed out, this was in an AES ad in the current issue of Maryland Fire Dispatch, not on the AES website. The ad included basic line drawings for the driver's side of these units. Unlike apparatus manufacturers and other Pierce franchises, perhaps it is an AES policy to only display shop drawings or trucks in production if the customer authorizes them to do so. I don't remember a lot of rigs from my former employer showing up under the Trucks in Production tab on the AES website.
Fairfax always thinks something is a secret but then photos always surface as soon as the rig hits the road from Pierce to AES or sometimes when people are up for midpoint inspections they catch photos and the new chief sends out monthly updates about special rigs like the tillers to his troops. It makes absolutely ZERO sense.
Good on DC for getting new engines hopefully they will have some more truck companies in the works soon too.
