Didn't they get a new Ferrara a few years ago? But anyways, they still look nice

Believe it or not, that was almost 6 years ago. That rig racks up a lot of miles responding city wide. That rig has had spotty history. It is popular with a few of the Haz-Mat guys I've talked to, but it's reliability is so-so. It was built on one of Ferrara's existing chassis, not something new to FDNY spec. The current round of deliveries is on this Ultra chassis which is brand new this year and designed specifically for this FDNY order. Perhaps it's built to a higher standard of durability? It certainly brings the cabs/mechanicals into some sort of uniformity, although separate from the Seagrave, obviously.
