Sir you may want to take a look at advertising Pierce puts out, plus the new delivery pics. Plenty of departments get the bus mirrors or west coast mirrors mounted on the doors. Very much are they within legal limits. Why would Pierce sell something illegal? That is hardly an excuse to use on why not to get them. Misinformaton need no longer be the order of the day. Us underlings out in the field are not as dumb as we pretend to be <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.
I believe that same arguement may have been used when it was asked why Fairfax did not get on the Arlington contract. Rumor has it that some in the fairfax ranks stated that the new arlington rigs were not NFPA compliant. Really? Again I ask would Pierce sell a non-nfpa compliant pumper? I know exemptions can be signed and such, but most are too scared to sign their name to an nfpa exemptions. Which blows my mind on a regular basis here in "pick and choose my nfpa I
standard" Fairfax.
The Arlington Rigs are 100% compliant. Thats for sure. Arlington just signed the first of 7 one year extentions to thier contract. All COG jursdictions are able to ride the contract as well.
