Anyone know what units get the new pumpers in 2019?

All the 2008,2009&2010 engines

Doesn't the union contract specify 10 years for front line engines and ladders?

The UFOA has a 10 year 364 day replacement in contract, so it?s almost 11 years before replacing rigs.

Hearing a rumor that KME failed to meet some conditions / requirements and lost the contract. Apparently the contract has been awarded to Seagrave

Looks like KME lost the contract for failure to perform.  Seagrave is back:

I'll bet their are some smiles around this board.  ;D

Now if Seagrave can win the next rearmount contract all will be good

How Reliable is your source? It would certainly be a major issue if it really happened. Ha67s a major contract like this ever been told previously?

Thanks for the information. I wonder what part of the terms and conditions they didn't meet? Must've been something pretty major to get the contract pulled!

Read on another site that Kovatch did not meet delivery times, and told FDNY they would not delay their other customers' orders to speed up FDNY deliveries.

Just spoke to my ( rabbi ) who after 20+ years retired from KME recently. He had told me even in the past that there's no supervision after being bought or by REV..
REV is currently seeking Spartan to join the group

 

[Florian Knight]

REV and Spartan?
Guess it makes sense - RV's and Fire Apparatus!

 

[Nasibova]

how many of the 2019  order have been already built ?  delivered ?

 

[AuxWarYearsCapt]

The last KME that was delivered after months ago is assigned to E- 312.  The rig is KP1800

This rig was add-on to the last contract

As far as the contract KME forfitted there were NO pumpers in production and no delivery's were made .
