Hey guys anyone got a photo of the new striker 6x6 at skyharbor yet?

I thought this rig was in reserve, but apparently not.  My guess is that either:  1) Ladder 155's usual E\-One Quest (yuk!) tower is down and this rig is covering but still lettered for L-155, or:  2) Since 155's is essentially a single unit house, they needed a quint there, since Glendale's other 3 ladders (2 E\-One Quest towers and 1 E\-One/Bronto) are straight aerials.

What is wrong with the E\-One Quest?

It's ugly.  I can't get used to that look.  However, other than seeing a photo of it on the exterior, I have no other experience with it to form a more valid opinion of it.

What is wrong with the E-One Quest? 

It's pretty much what Southwheatland said: It's ugly. Just a personal comment on my part. Nothing against E\-One, I just don't like the design.

That's what they said about the Pierce Quantum.

I posted a few of these in the Desert Southwest Fire/EMS Expo page, but thought I'd post them within the Metro Phoenix topic, too.

I don't know what this unit is designated, but it's Glendale's IHC prime mover with what looks like a mobile command post pod.
