I heard awhile back port authority 's GWB Operations looking at a foam pumper similar to the massive Pierce Velocity Jack Daniels has down in Lynchburg distillery    This was about 7 months ago

I saw this article a little while ago, and this reminded that I saw a bunch of the PAPD firefighters not so long ago (a bunch of them came to Westchester to tour the airport).  They're pretty excited about this purchase.  The Strikers they have now are definitely starting to show their age, as the PANYNJ received the first large batch of Strikers when the product unveiled (HPN's Airport 17, a 2003 4x4 was built in the midst of this order as well).

My guess is that the PA will transfer a couple of  rigs that are in good condition  to TEB once the new order arrives.
