Trying to rid themselves of all vertiges of ALF, except the Ladders, I guess.

Yep  plus they still have a few Saulsbury's that need replacement and

once they start adding & building new station's again, they are going to     

need a lot more rigs,  They want to have all Pierce Fleet by 2020

What will happen with the mid mount ladders? Any plans to replace them?

 

Any reason to remount the Squads instead of purchasing new ones and using the old units for reserve/spare?

[Guest]

There  are getting some Pierce Velocity Mid mount Ladder Towers soon

1 should be on the line very soon in Appleton, and they are working on the contract/specs for more

The trucks are all suppose to be  Velocity's,  not sure how many will be mid mounts

& rear mounts  

 

Re: Squads,   remounting the body save's money, they already remounted several rescues (ambulances)

The E-Burys are getting older, just like Peoria's (all in reserve for the time being) and Glendale's. I don't think Phoenix have many left, if any.

[Guest]

Any update on when Peoria's 3 New Rosenbauer's (commanders)  will be delivered ?

[Image7801]

No, but I should be going to the shop in the near future and will ask them. The shop guys told me the other day that the remounted brush truck is almost ready.

Caught this at Tempe Station 275 the other day.  I didn't have time to stop, so a drive-by was all I could get.

 

Tempe Scene Support 274 - Some of the East Valley departments call their air/light rigs "Scene Support", instead of "Utility".

Today was a pretty good day out and about...

 

Here is a very rare bird, LT1's 1992 IHC/E-One.   This may be the last of them in the fleet.  My guess is that since Station 1 is in downtown Phoenix, the "big" ladder runs much more than the LT.

Here's the latest generation of LT.  This is LT22's 2013 Freightliner/Rosenbauer.
