[guitarman314]

does anyone know if the old cr5 rig is still there because im doing a write up on the new truck for the school newspaper (my school is 2 blocks away from r5 people on si can probably guess what school) and i would like to get a few pictures of the old and new trucks together

Sorry, it's gone as of tonight, the new one is parked in their proper spot.

ok i swung by rescue 5 and got the pictures of the new collapse rescue and i have a few questions about the truck
1 how much did it cost?
2 how much is cr 5 used?
3 was it worth replacing the old truck with a new one?
4 is there anyway i can see the specs for this truck?
if someone can answer these before friday chances are i will get a decent grade on this article

There was an article in the last issue of "Fire Apparatus Journal" about the two Ferrara collapse rescue rigs with specs on equipment that was carried. I don't have it, otherwise I would've sent it to you.
