Did you happen to see AFD's other new ladder? It's a Pierce Velocity 105 stick.



Great shots YeOldeEnjine.

Thank You... No, I can't say that I did see the Velocity. My trip was a 2-day pre-construction meeting with Lutherville, Md. so I didn't have much time to look around in depth....

There is no Federal standard. The use of blue warning lights varies by State.

Another shot showing the wheelbase of these engines. They really like the top-mount pumps, apparently, but I'm suprised an urban department would want the wheelbase that came along with it.
