Fitchburg Wisconsin engine 2 and Mt Horeb Wisconsin brush truck its a monster

I thought they got rid of E-3?

[firechief14]

im not sure its possible I haven't been there in a little while the last time I was there the station was ready to burst with so much apparatus so its very possible not sure it was a very good idea that truck could go anywhere

[upstatefire31]

I'll see if I can do some looking around.....I know they had there Heavy Rescue up for sale.

[upstatefire31]

Heres what the New E-3 is now...2013 Peter/Pierce 4X4

[firechief14]

yup its a beauty this is the only shot I could get of it at fdic keeping up with the color tradition but it is so much slimmer and not that the other rigs weren't however this one was very well thought out

 

[upstatefire31]

From what I have read, there not going to go ALL OUT on trucks like they used to so this might be the new norm for them.

[firechief14]

ya unfortunately when chief himsel died so did the apparatus that was all decked out with several q's and bells and lights are gone. He  knew how to wheel and deal how to get the old stuff and keep the tradition alive but now they just aren't keeping up with all of the traditions. I sort of understand not having so much but it was cool as shit!!!!!!!!!
