Being on EGVFD, I definitely agree with Bill as the only Pierces we (EGVFD) have are all Quantums and the Tower ladder as a Pierce Dash… No old ones have been removed from service, yet! (the former snorkel doesn’t count).

That WLF/ Ranger/ EOne in Indiana looks alot like the East coast ” backdraft” engine..
