TEXAS RIGS

[Ladder 68]

Good stuff Jeremy. If I may add some information:



E31 is being replaced with a Pierce Arrow XT 105' Quint that has been ordered. This rig will then move to reserve. For a commecial chassis, this rig has held up very well.



Q33 is a '99 E\-One CII



E34 also has CAFS



RE38 is one of 2 twins and formerly served as E01, E04, E104 and E34 before being placed in reserve. Its twin, former E03, was kept exclusively to be used for parts for RE38. These rigs were closely modeled after the Windcrest E\-One Hush delivered shortly before these were ordered.



RE39 also is reported to be the first rig built with a production 6V92TA engine. It wasn't restricted and this rig still flies down the road to this day. This rig also caught fire from an improperly installed Sig-Tronics intercom system when it was less than 2 years old suffering interior cab damage. It also had the distinction of having the body break loose from its brackets and end up resting on the discharge piping.



Just some details.
