While I'm not usually a fan of commercial chassis Engines I (for some reason) kind of like these Richmond rigs. Anybody have any info on if they are still considering returning to a more conventional Truck Company/Engine Company system vs the Quint concept system? [/quote] They are getting ready to release an RFP for several Quints, Pumpers and three Heavry Rescues. As of now they are staying with the TQC.
