We run 2 Pierces. Our Engine is a 1991 Dash and our Rescue is a 1999 Freightliner/Pierce we bought after it was refurbed because of an accident it was in.

Nice rigs...I'll be adding some pics of some of the other engines as well as some of the trucks when i get a chance, The Chief has changed the color from all red to black over red in thelast few years, making us look even less like the biggest job in the state and more like the vollie town he lives in makes em look like boarshead delivery trucks more then firetrucks.. at least here in ourneck of the woods ...lol

No doubt This isnt chicago, red or maybe white over red is just fine by me..by the way, I like your tanker too nice rig how many gallons? 3000 or 4?
-

Our Tanker is only 2500 gallons..it was actually owned by a department in Connecticut when it was wrecked but I can't remember the name of them.

yeah? well 2000, 2500 , 3000 are pretty much the norm here , typically, it depends on location, we actually have Combination departments whoinclude vollie companies that have tankers nearly as large a chassis as yoursand they are just outside the 'city limits" but cover an puddle jumper airport and a decent sized mall, even inmy #2 vollie department back in the day ... we used to do "M/A tanker shuttle drills" monthly with the various local departments using to R model Cornbinders with a 500 gpm front mount pump with 750gallons on board in very early years before we had portable tanks... In that district we didnt use Dry hydrants either , lol I even remember volunteering to set up a water source at one drill, in winter using our brand new (lol) 1983 hahn 1250x 500 pump, spot the rig, chop a hole in the ice on the pond connect 3 lengths of actual hard sleeve and strainer dump it in, get a prime and set up a watering station with lines to tank 4 rigs filling leaving and coming in at anytime ( 2 3' lines per rig ) to maintain a constant flow on the other end .. It was trying But I was able to do it, alone, but by then wehad two portable tanks set up at scene and a 2500 gallon tanker in the beginning theyestimated theywere down to 350 to 400 gallons asthey got they're first dump..lol

1990 Dash Pumper (for sale)
1999 Saber Pumper
2007 Impel Rear Mount Rescue Pumper (delivery Dec. 2007)
Color: red with 1-6-1 white striping.
Pictures and info at http://www.etfd.org/.
My Chief sells Pierce, so I guess we're a little biased:)
I personally don't care for the Chicago colors, but all black is badass. I've only seen it on the demo units though. My wife likes Clearwater's (FL) white/pink colors. LOL -

All black is pretty neat. I took this pic at a convention a week ago. It belongs to a department in a neighboring county.
