It just seems like rear mount towers with pumps always seem to have a lot of problems regardless of brand. Rear mount towers are great but when you have a pump, generator, and many other fancy features, there is A LOT of points of failure.

I’m being told the new truck will replace the 2012 Pierce Tower at Station 7. It apparently has been problematic and very expensive to keep up. The 2012 Pierce tower was actually assigned to Station 2 originally but moved to Station 7 to reduce the amount it was used with a lower call volume.

Hairy egin, Minnesota? Mike I think e Elgin has trucks assigned to station 1,2 and 7, I think. So it’s probably just replacing one of them.
