Here is the drawing of E53 if that’s where it’s assigned. The only difference is the siren will be in the front bumper like our other apparatus not in the grill. It will also have an American flag grill the same as the rest of our apparatus.

What is the price of this apparatus compared to the bigger more traditional engines

It makes sense for them to be running the Truck at Station 51 as that is the headquarters station and is located in between Stations 53 and 52 so it is more or less in the center of the district as opposed to being located on the north end of the district.

The truck is currently running as Truck 51

If this will be the new E53 where will the truck be placed at? Will it be moved to 51?

the truck was moved to 51 several months ago – the site is not up to date

Is their squad manned or is it a jump company?

Is there even enough space to store hose?

Like I said before in another post, PIERCE isn’t the only builder out there. Perhaps the price of the HME was too good to pass up. I found the article of a few years ago that PIERCE recalled some apparatus due to problems with the TAK4. Hopefully that problem was solved otherwise, I would hate to think that PIERCE is run by stupid people.
But it does make me wonder why they introduce a product that obviously wasn’t tested enough.
Make sure it’s right or leave the old system in place.

No more Pierce? I wonder why?

They have a squad so the need for the extra non engine company things other towns need on the large engines isnt needed here

Why so small
