New Seagraves

Great to see photos of TL-18's new rig. I worked in TL-18 from March 1977 to Oct. 1984. Great company, great guys and a whole lot of fire duty in the late 1970s and early 1980s. R.I.P. all my brothers from Ladder 18 no longer with us. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

Definitely a problem around the country. 2 examples in my area:

White Haven's primary engine went down while operating at a structure fire today. They have been waiting over 2 years for a Pierce.

Plains Township's primary engine for Station 2 went down on a mechanical a few weeks ago and they are borrowing Nanticoke City's spare. They have been waiting over 3 years for a Pierce.
