Chicago Fire Signs Contract!!!Category: Crimson Updates / Tags: no tag / Add Comment On February 3rd, EMC-Fire in Illinois received notice that Chicago Fire has signed a contract for 30 aerials over 3 years with Crimson Fire. This contract comes on the heels of a 51 pumper order also awarded to Crimson. Congratulations to Salesman John Lynch!
Hopefully they hold up better then the pierces are. 1 failure and a bunch of fly sections needed replacement because they just didn't hold up.

Thanks for the post Truck 61. The Crimson Ladders should have a stronger "Tip Load" capacity then the Pierces as the Tip Load capacity on the Pierces was only 250 pounds (with the exception of Aerial Tower One which is a "Heavy Duty" Aerial Ladder) and the Crimson Ladders all have a 500 pound "Tip Load" capacity while flowing 1,000 gpm's of water.
