tower ladder 50 rig is a 98 and has been put out of service for major mechanical repairs at least 3 times this year...id say they ran a spare rig more than their own
Are you sure they haven't put the flashing "40" on the new rig? They had already taken it off the old rig and I know some of the company's have started customizing their new rigs.prez said:I saw E40 is back using its '97 Seagrave (it is customized with the flashing "40" on he grill, so know it is not a spare) after only a few weeks with the Marauder II. Does anybody have any info as to how the new rigs are holding up?

raybrag said:The Jan-Feb issue of Fire Apparatus Journal has this list:
311, 238, 282, 79, 93, 80, 332, 310, 234, 14, 33, 84, 217, 318, 264, 315 and 254, in that expected order. All except 311 currently have 1998 1000gpm rigs, 311's 2002 rig was wrecked.
This information has to be out of date, though, given the lead time required for magazine publication.
