Great shots Task Force, thanks for sharing!

I really like that new Pierce Engine from Lake Cities. Have to admit, i like the black paint on the lower end of the rig and its overall paint scheme.

However, as nice as that newer Tahoe looks, im not a huge fan of low profile lighting for a FD vehicle. Why not have a normal lighbar for better 360 degree warning? I see it has a boatload of LEDs, but still...maybe because its a Police package Tahoe? Other than that, its real sharp looking.

Are those Fort Worth trucks Mid-Engine or just have a stack instead of normal exhaust.

E-591 is a very nice rig, good luck to them with it.

No, they just have the exhaust stack. All the stations have a track mounted up on the ceilings that they line the exhaust stack up with, and it hooks directly into the exhaust ventilation system. The aerials still require the firefighters to hook the ventilation hose up to the exhaust when returning to quarters.
