And the federal requirement explains why Engine 9 is getting a new engine after only four+ years in service, it's first due to both the Ted Williams Tunnel and Sumner Tunnel.[/quote]
Im curious though, is it federal regulations due to the tunnel or something else? I find it strange to mandate a foam engine although I did notice that fire departments in my area are getting foam on their newer engines especially if they are near the freeway.
Oh BTW does anyone know what the TCU unit does? Is it a interoperability communications unit? Also what became of the Ford/Pierce Mini Rescue?
