If you have FACTS, please provide the details to the appropriate authority. If your claims or assertions are mere opinions based on second- or third-hand info, assumptions, a poor relationship with an individual or whatever I have no interest in hearing it. For me, such statements cause me to invalidate or reconsider the other commentary of issuer. As Chief Alan Brunacini said “Be Nice.”

Tim, Piper just got there so he’s probably not really involved, but since you made the comment please tell us all what kind of shenanigans he would do behind the scenes.

If Piper is involved there’s probably behind the scenes shenanigans.

Peotone’s is a Ferrara/US Tanker and 2500 GWT. Manhattan’s is a Rosenbauer and 2000 GWT. They are similar, but by no means a clone. I assure you there are no shenanigans happening behind the scenes. Rosenbauer won the deal because they are making a great rig and the departments in the area are looking for a manufacturer and dealer who are willing to work with them.

Thats what I love about this website all the conspiracy theories. Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll?

Is the new Pumper/Tanker a clone of Peotone E-14?

Bill, it is extremely ironic.

I find it Ironic that Manhattan is switching over to Rosenbauer and is buying 2 units from the ex peotone chief. Also I wonder if this has anything to do with Manhattans chief running Peotone in the interim. These trucks look nice but time will tell
