Demo trucks...

[Guest WolfEMT]

I saw two fire engines on US 9 South in Old Bridge, NJ today. They were both demo units as they were not lettered and numbered, but they looked pretty cool from the small gimpse that I saw of them. Does anyone know what manufacturer uses a diamond as their logo?

...have a diamond as a logo

In addition, this tanker by them is really, really hot:

It wasn't a regular diamond, it was kind of rounded on the sides. Although it could be the manufacturer you listed, Seth. Either way, the truck looked really cool.

May have been crimson fire http://www.crimson-fire.com/crimson/default.asp check out this web site think it may be them.

[Guest WolfEMT]

Yep, that's the one. The demo trucks that I saw looked really interesting. I only wish I could have gotten a better look at them.

They are pretty nice looking trucks, pretty tuff also. The only thing I don't like is multiplexing, but that is just me. One wire one job, other then that nice trucks

Chicago is a big buyer of the Crimson rigs.

I'd like to know which department was having the Crimson demos. If I find out, I'll see if I can get a better look and maybe some pics to post here.

Crimson was created from the merger of 2 separate manufacturer's a year or 2 ago--can't remember which 2 but--would be nice to have some more info on the rigs

Spartan Motors purchased Quality Manufacturing - Alabama, and Luverne Auto - Minnesota, and merged all three into CrimsonFire. This is from CrimsonFire's above noted website

That Tanker is interesting to say the least.
