This from Ryan Lee on the topic of Chicago ordering new squads:
1996 E-ONE Cyclone 65’ Snorkel 1000/300. Asking $69,000. Fenton Fire Equipment photo
Options go in order from far fetched to downright silly.
- Option 1 – Don’t buy it at all since new ones are on the way.
- Option 1A – Re-paint, gut pump compartment, and install large transverse compartment.
- Option 2 – Remove the Snorkel (assuming it’s certified), remount on another existing Snorkel Squad chassis.
- Option 2A – Repaint and leave as is, rewrite the contract regarding engineers vs. drivers, put in service.
