Niles Truck 2, the 1992 Pierce Lance TDA, has been out of service for several months. The aerial device is not usable and they have been running with ‘Quint 2′ or if need be they have run the tiller as a service truck. They have purchased a used, 1998, Pierce Lance, 105′ rear mount quint that was formerly from Trotwood, OH. The listing for this unit can be viewed HERE. The new Truck 2 is currently at the Niles Public Works being readied for service.

According to the fleet manager. There are no plans to buy a new truck. Tiller or straight.

Is Niles FD getting a new Tiller? I thought the new Truck was just until they get their new Tiller and then they would keep it as reserve and get rid of the 75 ft Truck.

Does this “new” Truck 2 still sport the same paint job or was the roof repainted to match the current fleet?
