Here are some more pics of the Pierce Arrow XT pumpers that should soon be delivered. They were all taken at the factory as positioning and light allowed, so they are not all that great. I am not sure if these were taken by the same consulting firm or some of our guys up there doing an inspection.



As I understand it, after these are delivered there will be 3 more that begin construction. 2 of the 3 will have the Husky Foam pro system and are slated to go to E20 and E14, both in Battalion 3. Maybe I can get the other one!!!! (but I doubt it)



1st up is E30:







E42:























E60:











Two firsts for Memphis about the pump panels. First engines ever equipped with speed lays and it looks like they went with "true" lil ladders. You know the kind we have on our trucks from 50 years ago that you can take apart and make an "A" frame, extend together, or make 2 small straight ladders - at any rate, they are stored in a transverse compartment high on the rear of the pump panel accessed from both sides - viewable in 2nd pic below.

There are a few things I would change, but I think these will be the best pumpers in the fleet. Kudos to the apparatus committee.[/color]
