Beecher looked very hard at both but it would have taken a lot for Beecher to get anything but a Pierce. I can’t wait to see the rig they end up with, I know that they really like the Plainfield Squad (which has a pump/tank, 1926 I believe) and were specing something similar to it…..another big rig.

Are these on the website? I was talking with the Chief of Beecher a few months back and he was leaning towards E-One for the new engine.
