Dallas' maintenance facility is (or at least used to be) a "qualified/certified" (or whatever you'd call it) service center for our apparatus.  As old age has crept upon me, I cannot recall if that arrangement was with Quality, Crimson, or both.  I do recall our maintenance facility performing work on other local department's apparatus (built by Quality and Spartan) as our mechanics were trained to perform the warranty work.  I believe that Quality and/or Crimson was billed by our maintenance facility to do the work on other department's apparatus.

 

As far as how good or bad Crimson is... like any manufacturer, they'll build a decent vehicle if you spec a decent vehicle.  Likewise, if you spec junk, that is exactly what you get.  I really liked the Quality apparatus form the 80's.  If you will recall, Shreveport piggy-backed on an order with Dallas in the late 80's for several pumpers built to our specs.  Those were the best engines we ever had (and I believe the Shreveport folks will agree).  

 

I hope this answers your question (or at least points you in the right direction towards your answer).[/quote

Thanks for the input. You do get what you ask for and what you pay for.
