Does anyone have a picture of the 93 Mack? Also Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Copy, giving vagasbuff a total on county kme. I know its about HME. Thanks.

LA County Fire has 200 rigs from KME as of now. In the begining they had nothing but problems (ie) keep machanics employed. So KME worked with county and now they are better but still have many issues.

Good, it wasn't just me who thought it sucked. Really a beard , no BA on the roof. And of course, a FS wouldnt be a FS without two FF's fighting. Love the fact that the building fire was knocked down but.. the auto fire was still burning.

Oh, copy! That makes since.

For me it's not a slogan, it's real. We provide fire rigs for 5 events a year for our military. 9/11 is coming up fast and we still need to remember that tragic day. I belong to WWP and simply buy a shirt that provides anything that our men and women may need. We cannot and must not ever forget our heros including the fire fighters that are on a one year tour of duty. My family thanks each and everyone of them. God Bless.

Look at Frieghtliner or International cab as they both have wonderful turning radious and dont forget Peterbilt 330 cab. Go woth big horse power for many reasons and keep the wheel base modest. In other word do not go to short than you will have over weight issues and not to long with turning issues. Try to keep the tank as high if not a little lower than the cab this will help with over all balance. Do not forget about front and side baffels this helps side to side front to back movement and is also a NFPA standard. Important, Remember front and rear axle weight!!!! Have a Jake brake to help with braking. If your dept has grass or brush fires what about a pump and roll system. IE: secondary pump like a 125 or 150 pump. Front and side sprayers work well on grass and brush fires doing line work from the road. A reel line with at least 350ft works well on auto fires ect. Just a few ideas that has worked well for us. Good luck!

LA Co does not use 5in hose. I'm sure someone back in DC could help with this but.. i beleive they run 3in on standard engine co.

E52 carrys LDH. I do not remember how many feet.

I for one am looking forward to Chicago fire. I'M sick of doctor and CSI shows. We need another great fire tv show. Hope this is it.

The KME's for LACOFD has been a very long road. Many issues with electrical, pumps, overheating and so on. Even the 2011 have rearend problems buy riding to the left. But overall a better rig with KME working close with county.

Can someone please tell me the reason for the single blue light on the rear of the new rigs. Thanks.

I'M in Los Angeles, how can i buy a ticket?

Has FDNY started any bids for new tillers?
