Only 1000 gpm? ???

Fire Apparatus Journal reported 1,000 gpm in Jack Lerch's column.

Strange that they would only order 1000gpm for the squads since everything else is 2000gpm and the squads do respond as first do.  Also larger pumps really don't take up any more space.

Are all 7 squads being replaced at the same.

It's sorry we don't even know who the manufacturer will be yet it's going to take awhile to get pictures!

No, Sq.61 is not getting one.

 

[badge13]

why wouldnt squad 61 get one?

 

[guitarman314]

Because their rig is a 2003 which was purchased their rig that was wrecked in an accident with TL50.

The order for the rescue pumpers is for six units.  Squads 1, 18, 41, 252, 270 and 288.  GMan is correct, S 61 is not included in the order.

I'm wondering if they'll contain any major changes to the spec, or are they just basically keeping the same spec.
