Thanks Kevein.As for Snyder saying the Shop installed the Metal Roof.. NOT.Also Snyder mentions the Mack at Metro. It wasn't a DC MAck. It had a Hemi in it. If I recall the story correctly these B Models came in with Air Brakes and they were Speced with Juice Brakes. So in our Shops wisdom they made Mack retrofit juice Brakes and never looked at Mack again for Apparatus.
Cos, that as dumb as they could ever been, going from air to juice. Plus not entaintering Mack again on bids. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/machinegun.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Question for the DC guys. Do the Pierce and Seagrave pumpers purchased in the past all come from a standard pumper spec? If so what is the wheel base and overall length of the rig? Thanks in advance....
I never shot much in DC except for the special rigs even though I lived in NOVA for 14 years, worked downtown all that time and spend about two months a year in town. I should remedy that.
