why is 42 getting a new rig they have an 02 pierce?

Truck 47 is not replacing the Pierce ladder they are running with. It is Truck 42 that is getting a new Spartan Crimson ladder.

Hopefully some day someone will update the Chicago Fire index with all the new rigs that have been put into service, still have many old photos there, keep up the good work this is a great site.
