The Hartsdale Fire Department has selected Spartan Emergency Response to build a new Spartan 93’ Mid Mount Aerial. Thank you Hartsdale!

Does anyone know the cost of this new truck?

I think the more important thing is....will it carry on Hartsdale's solid all lime green paint job (My preference), or will a solid red paint job win out?

 

I'm told Hartsdale committee members were checking out this rig amongst others at the Long Island show.  This truck is owned by Atlantic Hook And Ladder of Port Washington FD. It's a 2016 Spartan ERV 93', the model Hartsdale is going with.

It will NOT be green.

When they bought TL15, it was from a transitioning manufacturer. Now that Spartan is merging with Smeal, I wonder if that will have any effect on the quality in the meantime?

The Lime Yellow rigs which started in the 1970's and was championed by a eye Doctor by the name of Solomon seems not to have gained extensive popularity, .perhaps due to tradition or what difference does it make with all the warning lights. The good Doctor thru extensive testing found that the Lime color was more visible to the eye and there was no such color in nature except in a baby's diaper.
