Since one of the videos was a NBC news report with the mayor and police officials introducing the new unit, I don't think this unit is supposed to be a secret!

A quick Google search produced several videos on this unit. Basically a community affairs unit that responds to major incidents and attempts to deescalate and calm chaotic scenes and prevent further violence.

I'm sure there is a significant cost savings with buying in bulk, i.e. five Rescues at a time, but then you get your entire fleet worn out at the same time...I wonder if it would make sense to have a five year contract with one Rescue delivered per year and then at the end, take a year or two to...

So to clarify - R11 to R15 are each companies former rig, and R6 is the Pierce?

1965 - Mack C (3) 1977 - ComCoach refurb of 1965 rigs 1982 - ALF Century/Saulsbury (4) 1983 - Mack CF/Ward 79 (2) 1993 - Mack MR/Saulsbury (6) 2002 - Mack MR/Saulsbury (1) 2005 - Mack MR/Ferrara (5) 2019 - Peterbilt/Ferrara (6)

Would you happen to have an up to date list of the rigs currently assigned as Reserves??

E3's became the Cassion, the others went to spare pool.

Can you provide a link to this other site?

Any update on this new Squad Support vehicle?

Was 86's 2010 repaired after the wreck?

They could probably have a diesel or gasoline generator on-board to power the electric motors for each wheel...but still added weight, space, and cost.

I thought that was 274.

273 got caught in a fire?

Additionally, the 1968's had the curved hose, bed cover, 1969 had the flat hose bed cover, 1970 were first with the silver cab faces, 1971 were first four doors. 1972 had the large torpedo cab marker lights on the sides, 1975 cab marker lights were small pedestal mounts.

Interesting...only one TL out of all the trucks on the first two alarms.
