I thought Lincolnshire liked pierce exclusively.

I really hope they don’t go with HME/Ahrens Fox.

I don’t think Marion body works will build on an HME chassis. Marion builds the cabs for Spartan motors and I have never seen an HME/Marion build

I heard either HME/Aherens Fox or HME/Marion. They have also ordered 3 2015 Ford F550/Horton Ambulances.

Anyone have any information about Truck 53 running out of station 51 and Engine 51 running out of Station 53? This is how I have been hearing dispatches for the last few weeks
