Would you want to trade in the Pierce for a Ferrara? From what I've heard they really like the Pierce!FDNYBuff97 said:I heard that the Captain of Rescue 1 doesn't want the new rig
Any idea what the problems with the new rigs are?guitarman314 said:Saturday, Sept. 17th and both L81 & R5 are running with spares. On Friday R5's Ferrara was OOS so they had an E-One spare in their bay while their old E-One was outside parked in the lot. Today they were running with their old (ex-R5) E-One.
