Why did Palos Heights get rid of their truck company(Pierce telesqurt)? I’ve always wondered why

I’m wondering does Palos Heights have 2 E-one engines? I know they have one a 2013 Typhoon plus the American LaFrance engine I’m surprised that Palos Heights and Palos fire districts haven’t discussed a merger with money being tight…….

This is where all the manufacturers went wrong. Getting away from these simple, basic workhorse apparatus and customizing rigs with a million options prone to glitches and breakdowns that render a high 6 figure apparatus unusable.
