Also in the rumor is that the 2nd one was suppose to go to Snorkel 28 but that might not happen due to the incident on national night out.

And last rumor is that they might buy 1 more but just a rumor at moment.[/quote]



I just saw it today sitting outside the plant, it looks to be complete for the most part. Don't quote me on it but I believe it was numbered as 26? I should be passing by there again tomorrow, I'll find out for sure if it's still sitting out.

Unfortunately yes, I'm assuming they were test driving it. Well they only made it up the hill from the plant!

That rumor is true. They will not have front suctions, prepiped deck guns, or a raised roof over the jump seat area. These items were eliminated to reduce the cost of the rigs. The department had to reduce the cost per unit by $38,000.00.

No deck guns on the new pumpers; its true. They will becoming with a light weight portable gun instead; dont agree taking the deck guns off. They are great on extras and put out alot more water than a portable gun. It seems they took a couple of steps backward in apparatus design with these new apparatus we shall see when they come in.

I forgot to add that the four new engines are TENTATIVELY scheduled for assignment to Engines 37, 39, 59, and 66.

The streets department need new garbage trucks so we cut from the fire dept.

Get the Phillies to kick in some $$$ from that BIG WIN!!! GO PHILLY! Maybe we can get some shots of rigs that cover SOUTH BROAD and PATTISON Pipeline 49 and Medic 11

My sister emailed me these camera phone pics that someone else took of last nights celebration after the Phillies won the World Series. Looks like the new Tower Ladder 5 getting trampled.
