We just got a new truck in, and an engine should be here Thursday.
1.5 Million for the two. The Truck is just over 1 Million. Like $1.1 Million.
The other fire truck ( aka engine company ) will be here Thursday.
(Truck = ladder on top, Engine = No ladder on top)
Well, Check out my new ride at work!
It's a BOSS! We're loving it. Despite the work it still needs.
It's about 1.5 Months from being in service and usable.

2012 Custom Pierce Truck
100 ft Ladder
Platform
Badass included
Actual Full Specs to come.
A couple of years I shot our local Scouts 100th anniversary weekend. They let me climb up the ladder for an arial shot. I think I was only about 40 feet up but it still felt like a mile. And a fun opportunity.
nice, very nice, my dept just signed contract for a pierce dash 1500gpm engine, should be here by dec, looking at a pierce quint if we get the grant, that'll give us all pierce for engines/quint. heavy rescue is a kme
Nice, These aren't off grant. But they've been delayed a few yrs due to budgets.
We have 5 Stations, 23Min on shift. (we're not big, cover about 38k people and 28 sq miles)
Now with these new apps, we have 3 Trucks and 3 engines and one rescue (Primary Medical Calls)
(Sta. 1 being a double company + Rescue er the ambulance. lol)
Our rescue was implemented to handle the Basic Medical calls to keep wear and tear off
the big boy machines. our Rescue runs 76% of the calls in our zone. Being Basic Medical Calls.
It has a 2 man crew, and is an extension of the Truck Company where it's located.
Therefor, the truck only has 3 people (their other 2 on the rescue)
