The reason L169 took so long to go in service is because the city wanted changes to the ladder storage area among other things.

sooner then you think

I can't say

They are on the line now, being built

yes, that's what i said. Happened well over a years ago

E257 and CTS switched rigs

not even close

It went back to handle body modifications to fit a 2nd 24ft ladder.

What problem?

was coming back from the body shop

Yes its in jersey, and no, it doesn't have "pages" if issues

The next batch would be the sandy replacements, 2014, mix of seagrave and kme

The last one on the current order is in the city shops,E292. You probably won't see and new pumpers / squads / high pressure, until late next year

Taken so long? the truck just arrived. It has to go through it paces. the truck is at the rock for training, so that will take a few weeks, then the city shops will have it for a few weeks to really go over the truck, that takes a few days, then back to the seagrave shop in nj, for what ever...

DC has 1 tower, Philly has 4 soon to be 5
