Re: Any Firefighters here
Thank You guy for your support and service.
Not very many people tell us that. After the sept 11 horror the fire service got a little respect for what we do. Now several yrs later noone really thinks about it until the next disaster.
Again Thanks

Re: Any Firefighters here
How about a retired FF? I worked for the Philadelphia FD for 29 years, retired in 04. My Ty has a fire fighter related story. When I purchased it from FC Kerbeck in NJ the sales guy was the son of a fire Lieutenent that had been one of my instructors in fire school. He later told me that I got one of the last two 92 Typhoons that Kerbeck had, the other one went to a Captain in the Camden FD.

Hey Slo-
Which of those 2 trucks is in the shop more? The Sy or the E-One
We have all E-Ones also, but I am a Pierce guy myself. Seems E-Ones are the Jaguar of the fire service--for each one you have, you better have another in reserve for when it breaks down!

Re: Any Firefighters here
Actually so Far it has been great. It's the best driving truck we have. the turning radius is amazing!
The biggest thing i hate about the truck is the back end as it has the new labeling thats yellow and red.
When we first took delivery of our ladder truck it has a issue where the throttle at the pump panel would be very slow respond. But a new ecm fixed that problem.
The toughest truck we have in the fleet is that darned old tanker and everybody treets it like $hit and it keep on trucking.
The other 2 E-ones have 52-53 have cummins engines. the new truck has a detroit.
I'm kinda partial to the E-one but i'll drive what ever they buy cause it means i'm still working they actually was going to with a rosenbauer truck.
but to answer your questions is the sy no doubt breaks down more.
