From the Legacy Fire Apparatus Facebook page:
Another Chicagoland rig getting close. Bloomingdale’s awesome low hose bed with a 750 gallon tank. The graphics are almost done, just finishing install. Love the flag on the rear compartment doors!

Builders like SUTPHEN and SEAGRAVE benefit from PIERCE’s mistakes and failure to appease longtime customers.
Brand loyalty does no good when you get jerked around. That holds true with any product not just fire apparatus.

Mike C.. is that the real truth or just your opinion?

Localguy – In the past, they thought they were getting the best based on Pierce’s amazing marketing tactics They eventually realized they were overpriced and out of service all to often with high maintenance costs.

Mike, I’d love to hear why. Probably the same reason all the full-time deps down state have also.
