I've seen Maxim TDA's, Seagrave TDA's with 4 door cabs, E-Ones with canopy cabs and 4 door cabs, and the Pierces in my 25 years of fire scene photography, and in my opinion, the 1976 Seagrave TDAs were the best aerial that the city had.[/quote]



Does anyone know why TDAs have basicaly disappeared in the metro Boston area? Only Somerville, Revere, and Waltham that i can recall have active duty TDAs. With Cambridge, Quincy and Newton haveing them as spares.
