Harry those must be the 5% you are seeing with power windows. I guess in the last 10 years you seen maybe 20 rigs that have power windows.

Apparently Harry Pederson hasn’t seen much for new apparatus. Manual windows are still very common.

well not to argue but every new fire rig I have seen in the last 10 years or so has had power windows

Harry about 95% of fire trucks have roll up windows, Power windows are an option and a added expense to a fire truck and if villages want to pay for it.
