From Michael Douglass:
Here are some updated photos of our new squad that is being built at the SVI plant in Colorado. Initially we were not expecting to receive the new squad until late summer or early fall, but it is well ahead of schedule and we are expecting it to be delivered at the end of May or early June. The new squad is a SVI body on a Sutphen Ambassador chassis. Our squad committee went last weekend to view the progress and these photos were taken by Deputy Chief Brad Delatorre. There are more photos of the squad on the SVI website under the “watch your truck being built” link at: www.svitrucks.com.

This from Michael D. Douglass:
Hey guys some progress has been made on the new squad we have on order. The squad is an SVI body on a Sutphen Ambassador chassis. The chassis is scheduled to arrive at the SVI plant next week. The plan is to have the squad completed by early fall, however as of right now they are ahead of schedule so it may be ready sooner.
Attached find a PDF of the preliminary graphics from SVI. The graphics have been approved with the only exception being that the lettering will be done in gold leaf instead of the orange used in the graphic. I have also attached a photo of the body sub frame and 6 photos on the fabrication from SVI. These photos can also be viewed on SVI’s website under the “watch your truck being built” photo gallery area at: www.svitrucks.com.
As I get additional updates I will send them to you. Thanks.
Yours in Fire Safety,
Michael D. Douglass

Cary Fire has placed an order for a new squad. The new squad will be a SVI body on a Sutphen Ambassador chassis. Included are preliminary drawings for the new squad. The drawings state the chassis is a Sutphen Monarch but that was changed to the Ambassador chassis. If all goes well the new squad should be here in late summer or early fall 2014. The new unit will replace our current Squad 255 which is a 1991 Alexis Body on a L8000 Ford chassis. As I get updates I will send them to you.
