Dallas Fire Department Apparatus

[hansinoman]

For those of you that are interested, all of the new Spartan Gladiator/Crimson pumpers that have been placed into service recently are 2009 models. They were completed during December, 2009. Even though they werent delivered until after the first of the year, they are considered 2009 models. However, they were titled as 2008 models, I suppose because that's when they were ordered. When determining the correct year model on apparatus, go by the manuafacturer's plate in the cab, if it can be located. Also, these Dallas pumpers have 1500 gpm pumps, a change from years of specifying 1250 gpm pumps on pumpers.
