This from Crabby Milton:
Good Afternoon.I found out recently while visiting West Allis Station 1, that Station 2 just got a 2016 SEAGRAVE pumper. They were a steady PIERCE customer for many years but also have a 1990 SEAGRAVE ladder.This was part of an annual event called Doors Open Milwaukee, where several iconic buildings are open to the public which included some fire stations.Thank You,Crabby Milton

It’s my fault Zachary. I didn’t know it was copyrighted. This is what happens in the world of the internet when we see a photo and just conclude that it’s public domain when using an image search engine
When I submit one of mine, I could care less if someone wants to use it without crediting me. It’s going to go any number of directions after that. After all, I have it in my own file anyway and I just submit a picture to share it with other apparatus fans. But I respect your copyright and do concede that.
It is a nice shot just the same.

Thank you CrabbyMilton for the response! You don’t sound very Crabby. I’m particular about credit at this time as I promote and expand my photography. Take care!

Happy to acknowledge the appropriate credit when we have it. Our apologies for omitting your name as the image was submitted from the Seagrave website without any photo credit.

I didn’t say all but I should have made my point more clear. FDNY seems to put pumpers into reserve when they turn 10 so I mistakenly used that as a baseline
I think but am not certain that the oldest front line unit in MFD is the Hazmat and that was built in 1997.

Crabby, Chicago certainly isn’t putting their rigs into reserve or disposing of them “early”. We’ve got spares overt 30 years old and frontline units almost 20 years old.

I agree but with bigger cities putting rigs into reserve at younger ages and then getting rid of them when they are less than 20, it makes me wonder why they even buy rigs as nice as E-ONE or PIERCE in the first place.
SPARTAN’s aren’t bad at all but SEAGRAVE seems to get more of the suburban market these days.

Sharp rig, I’d like to see Seagrave get back into the Chicagoland market but I believe cost is a factor
