Lots going on there in Chester!

What did this replace? Interesting they went the commercial cab route.

Isn't New City's 9"tanker" a 2011. Why would they replace it already? I understand they might be frustrated with Pierce, but is there something specific with this apparatus other than it really isn't a tanker (LOL).

Great idea! Reduce, re-use, recycle!

The brochure has the outriggers out to 18' and the single jack in the middle rear for the single axle. They also have it on a tandem axle with a 16' spread, but 2 Jack's in the rear.

Makes it easier when they don't have to face the winter or the notoriously deplorable road conditions of the American northeast!

Glad nobody wa hurt. I wonder when the truck was last inspected/certified, not that failure can never be truly predicted. I hope they don't expect full price of trade-in value when their new truck comes in. Lol!

I like the disclaimer about having to decommission the emergency equipment.

Thanks!

It takes time to train on a new piece of equipment. Driver training is especially important. Those sutphens have a very wide swing in the rear when turning. No need to rush it into service if people can't drive/operate/position it correctly.

What does that stand for?
