My apologies Harry and Brian. I neglected to refresh and scroll down. Wow, that is surprising news. PIERCE must have PO’d someone in the MFD ranks after all of these years.

Yes Harry see that Brian posted that. I just want to confirm it for myself. Not to know Brian but this is huge news if it’s accurate. MFD has been a PIERCE customer for many many years now so for them to break that is something

Brian, I checked the regional E-ONE dealer and see nothing for MFD in regards to new E-ONE’s. Did they buy stock apparatus or are they on order?

Milwaukee still has pierce on order.

I saw today that Milwaukee purchased THREE E-ONE engines from Fire Service. This has to be shocking for the Pierce folk

Surprised to see Hoffman Estates is finally going away from International for their ambulances

Isn’t Hoffman Estates already waiting on 2 Pierce Engines that they ordered two years ago? I believe those will go to engines 21 and 23. This new one I believe will go to 22.
I am surprised that Bloomingdale went back to Pierce. I am guessing the E-One has been OOS way to much. If I had to guess, they won’t see it until 2027 or 2028. At some point, I would imagine Bloomingdale will have to order another engine to replace the 2005 Pierce. I am guessing the tower took priority.
