I believe the order for the new engines was put out sometime late last year, so hopefully they'll be arriving in the next few months.

When mack goes back into business.

I'm pretty sure that would be "never"...

They were suppose to have one done as a demo by the 1st of the year.  So as you can see they are a little behind.

Is it true that Engine 94 is supposed to get a new rig?  Theres is only an 02 or an 03. I wish we could go back to the Macks.  Those things were the best.

The first of the Seagrave Marauder II 2000 GPM pumpers is marked, at the factory, for Engine 3.  The high-pressure pumper for Engine 8 will have a later delivery date, not yet set.

It's for the same use as the diamondplate box found on many of today's rigs, to carry water rescue, hazmat or other equipment.
