Here is a run down on new rigs if interested.



2005 - HME/Toynes arrived

2006 - 1 Seagrave Ladder

2007 - 2 Seagrave Ladders, 1 Pierce Quint, and 3 KME Engines

2008 - 3 Pierce Ladders, 1 Pierce Quint, 3 KME Engines

2009 - 4 Pierce Ladders, 1 Pierce Quint, 2 KME Engines, 1 IHC/KME MAC



Also heard, that KME is about to go out the door. We will see, I'm hoping the city starts buying Pierce engines.[/quote]

They had good luck with the 86's and 92's. Looks as if this will retire the old Pierce aerials. The Ferraras will be reserve. Remember. KME..... Keeping Mechanics Employed!!!! They need to look at the specs of Wagon 3 from Harrisburg. Would not be a bad idea.
