Detroit Apparatus

[FireMedic049]

Well nothing should let a manufacturer know how well the product stands up quite like the work they will see in detroit. Hopefully the equipment is a user friendly for the environment and alow the members safer working conditions.

Looking forward to seeing the new squad setup. Can anyone fill us in on what's gone on with the newer squads. Mainly the rigs themselves, what became of what was the original squad replacements. Only heard bits and pieces, and you know how that goes in the fire service.

I don't know what is going on with the apparatus replacing the current squads, but the Spartan Chassis that were originally intended to be replacements for the squads were used to build additional regular engines.  They were the second batch of Smeal engines and they have the "normal" Spartan raised roof rather than the short raised roof that the first order of engines had.
