It appears the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department within Arlington County has acquired a rather massive new Light and Air Unit built on an International WorkForce chassis but I couldn't identify the end builder. All of the roll-up compartment doors except one were locked and there wasn't even a clue on the mud flaps who did the body work (yes, I know where to look 99,98% of the time!). I'll see if I can find out anymore on Wednesday.

It's from AES, doesn't that typically mean Pierce?

I think it is what was M&W which AES bought back in the spring

The Body & Work was done by a local dealer and partly by AES in house I believe. Pierce had no part of it.

AES is building rigs in-house at the former M&W facility, located in Vinton, VA. The rigs that AES is building are called "Bear-Kat," and AL106 is the first full-size apparatus that they've delivered. They're also building a pumper for the Prospect VFD in Prince Edward County, and recently rolled out a brush truck to the City of Chesapeake.
