They aren't ordering from E-One yet. It is just out for bid. However, it will probably be E-One or Pierce that gets the bid from what I have heard.

I see Newark went E one with last few engines they ordered

In the latest issue of fire apparatus journal I  see they placed 4 E One Metro 100 foot sticks in service With 5 more on order NIce looking rigs I might add

Per @SOlsonBFDL14 E-One has won the bid for all 23 Engines, will feature an easy to use pump panel custom designed for Boston, and a return to Jaffrey valves.  Prototype in January, delivery will start shortly after approval.

In the Northeast, there was a company called Jaffery,  the made incoming gated relief valves for the pump panels, sometimes still called "Jaffery" valves even though Jaffery is out of business.

 

Stay Safe.
