  Everyone is trying to beat the next round of emissions that go into effect with late model year 2026 rigs. That’s part of the big price increase for 2027.

  All manufacturers currently have ridiculous wait times. Aurora just got approval for 3 new engines from E-One, estimated delivery time is 3 years. New truck supposedly will take 18 months once it hits the line. Between shut downs, shortages, and staff shortages everyone is behind. Thank c@vid for that.

  The West Chicago Seagrave Aerialscope was $1,920,640 (Meeting Minutes 06/30/22)

  Must order before June 2023 to avoid delivery delay to 2027? Talk about absolute ridiculousness. I wonder if anybody has gone outside this HGAC consortium to buy apparatus (or tried to,) – “approved by MacQueen”? What’s that infer, a built in extra profit for MacQueen? Where’s the proof that this saves any money?

  Local guy, I believe the other Mike is talking about West Chicago. They paid 2.2 Million for a Seagrave MM with a pump and tank. I believe that information was posted on this site not that long ago.

  Mike, who is paying $2.2 million for a tower? Who’s building it? I’m gonna guess Pierce.

  Looks like a smaller, single-axle version of Schaumburg Squad 55.

  Is Squad 9 relatively new?

  In any rate, how about the price tag on this rig? Pretty amazing how fire apparatus pricing has gone so high! There is a town in the area with a new rear mount tower with pump who paid $2.2 million! Never thought I’d see fire apparatus pricing like this in my life!

  Yes Michael, this will replace Squad 8 the current 08 Spartan. They have had a ton of issues with Squad 9 the E-one.

  Ok, I am guessing this will replace Squad 8. I know they have been having issues with Squad 9.
