Went out to the New England Fire Chiefs Association show in Springfield, MA. Its running all this weekend and is an annual trip west for me. I didnt shoot a lot of photos, but heres what I did shoot.
In my opinion, this truck is the star of the show. Lowell E6, a 2010 Pierce Arrow XT. This truck is a basic attack pumper which is something I believe most departments have gotten away from. To many extra bells and whistles adorn apparatus these days. The Lowell apparatus committee did an excellent job specing these units (an identical pumper was built for E11). Its a small, no frills pumper that will serve Lowell well for years to come.
