They’re not quite 100% Pierce yet. Still have the E-1 Tower.

The build is not long but the process is because we have all seen plainfield new car in production which started a few weeks ago and is schuller to be compleded the end of may and as for elk grove village they have a new engine coming and ambulance this will replace a 20 plus yo ambulance

Lead times on fire apparatus remain very long. 21.5 – 23.5 months! I think most builders are in the same position.

The last engine, E47, was a big improvement over the older fleet. I hope this one will mimic 47.

Yeah they became 100 percent Pierce when they replaced the E-One Tower ladder. I wonder which engine this will replace?
Two years time for a new engine that’s long!

I believe Tinley has been 100% Pierce for quite some time…….
