  1. Oh yeah, I forgot about those Taylor Made rigs. I seem to recall hearing that PFD had to send all of them back to the factory in Arkansas for warranty work right after they took delivery of them.

    although those horrible pickup chassis are not quite like todays, maybe these Dodge chassis they are to be built on will be better.


  2. It seems a lot of the  new Chevy rescues are of OS a lot, I see them using more spares then front line cars

    I think they should have looked at   Braun,  PL Customs, Wheeled Coach, Road Rescue, Horton or Braun Northwest  

    on Ford F-350 or F550  heavy duty chassis or  type 3's Ford Transit chassis  

    well maybe after Dodge/Demers   

    the mfg of the body has nothing to do with the chassis. You can have a great chassis and motor but the body can be a POS. Or the opposite. In the case of the Taylor Made's they had years ago, the pickup chassis and body were junk. I guess you don't work in EMS or fire?


  3. Tempe is getting 3 New Spartan/ERV Engines  E271 E272 E274 &

     New  Spartan/ERV  Heavy Rescue  for LT276   should be Delivered in 6 weeks or 7 weeks


  4. It appears your information is inaccurate. From their Facebook page -

     

    "Following our Special Board meeting this afternoon I am happy to let everyone know that the layoff notices for our paramedics are rescinded. Our part-time EMTs will still be laid off, this Saturday per the original notices.

    There will be no reduction in services and there are still 3-4 personnel (Paid & Volunteer) on duty every day at the station.

    We appreciate concerns and offers of assistance we have received as well as the updates from the AZSF personnel on the status of our grant and fire payments."
