[quote name='MFD 61 KS' timestamp='1358564740' post='507724']

Just noticed on Pierce's flicker web site that there are two white over red Pierce Ladders for PG County. They appear to be county rigs. When did they decide to switch back to red?

[/quote]I think these ladders and the engines currently in productions are the first large apparatus purchased by the county in this new paint scheme. I recall seeing at least one SUV done up like this previously. As I recall reading somewhere along the line, the switch was based more on economics than aesthetics. Supposedly white over red fire apparatus have better resale/trade value and/or generate more interest among departments looking to purchase used apparatus. So, the county switched.

Wow Nice rig, quite a bit bigger than the old one.  Did they sell or plan to sell the old one?

POST# 2151:One of the 9 1985 E1 Hurricane 1250/500 wagons delivered summer of 85.

Not as soulful as the preceding Hahns, but better IMO than the horde of Ford C/E1s that would follow.

A unique model for DC with the top-mount panel.

I think if I remember correctly I was told it was originally old Engine 3.
