Both companies have been told to expect delivery early next week. They're in the same Battalion, so it can't be on the same day, but perhaps one after the other? We'll see.

E 251 received there new KME......E 313 going for training tomm

Has anybody heard any feedback from the units that have gotten the new KME pumpers? Do they like them? Have they had any problems? I know it hasn't been very long but when the Ferrara ladders went in-service the complaints started almost immediately.

The members of E153 like it so far, they like the smooth ride and acceleration. I don't think they have any problems yet.

Eng. 251 also received inline "relay" pumping from E313 at the first job and performed very well.

I was doing a video of Engine 97 and one of the members said a few words about it towards the end.

I was at the first job at Douglaston Manor.....E 251 was relayed water from E 313. Everything went very well..I went to E 251 after the job and they were very pleased the way it went..

No problem, I want to get the rest of them too.

JohnnyBopp · Jul 30, 2014

I know someone said they saw 70 and 71 or 83 at the radio shops. Have any of them gone in service yet?

AuxWarYearsCapt · Jul 30, 2014

One of the above rigs will be going back to the KME plant to have a few issues repaired..
I'm not sure if it is 70s or 71s
