Jeez that thing must be one of the first Quantums ever produced. I thought they were introduced in 1996!

Alex,



I was under the same impression, I thought they came out in 1996. According to the Captain that set me up, he did loads of research after the rig was delivered to discover that it was in fact the first one manufactured.

Pierce # E-8847. Listed as manufactured in 1995.



My car is a 2005 model year, manufactured in 2004. Maybe the same applies to fire engines.

It feels like Winter is on the way! Today was absolutely gorgeous in South Florida, with the high's in the mid 80's and clear skies I headed down to Dade County. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/BananaMan.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Thanks, Shoop and correct, originally the E15 was disbanded due to budget cuts, however after weeks of review and negotiations with the county, the residents of Key Biscayne and of course the union E15 was placed back in service.

Hey Alex, I'm really enjoying this thread. Have you guys ever shot Daytona Beach FD? They got some interesting rigs. If I remember they still run an 80's era E\-One /Pem Fab/85' Snorkel .Florida in general has a real variety in some areas. Keep em comin and thanks.

Res4cue,



These are a monster type "rescue ambulance" transport unit with a fair amount of firefighting tools, nothing more.
