If you go to www.hughesfire.com > Sales > Construction Photos > Custom Pumper (I would have posted the link, but they hide it, so you have to navigate from their main page), you'll see the first six (along with a bunch of new Velocity's under construction for Mesa, an Impel for Goodyear, and others).
There are six (6) Phoenix Impel's under construction right now: 36134-01 thru -06.  

Alot of people scoff at the Ladder Tender concept, yet it works and works extremely well. People say "what if a structure fire tones out and you're in the LT?" No big deal. The LT has everything the big ladder has, minus the aerial, which 90% of the time you don't need on a residential house fire. Besides, if an aerial is needed, the next closet one is dispatched. That's also another good thing of automatic aid. No delays in getting additional resources. The Phoenix metro is basically one big fire department. Only difference is the color of the apparatus. 

And that, dear friends, is why metro Phoenix departments run ladder tenders ("LT's") on most truck assignments, leaving the aerial in quarters, with Low Acuity ("LA") and Medical Response ("MR") units running many of the 80% "I've fallen and I can't get up" calls, to save Engines from running their wheels off.

I saw a photo of "replacement" Truck 9 on the major emergency early this morning on Mateo St.  Looks like they're running a Duplex/LTI (for now).  Ladder boards said "Truck 9"...

Here's Peoria Fire-Medical's newest pumper, Engine 191
2020 Rosenbauer (MN) Commander 1500/500/30a
It will be replacing the 2012 Spartan/Rosenbauer.  That rig will likely go to E-196, replacing the last ALF Eagle (also, ex E-191) in front line service (circa 2006 ALF Eagle 1250/500/80a, Phoenix spec).  It is expected that rig will go into reserve (with the three 2010/2011 Spartan/Rosenbauer rigs), putting the circa 2005 ALF out of service permanently.
This will make all front line engines (and all but one reserve engine) Rosenbauer's (5 Commanders, 2 Spartan/Rosies, 1 Freightliner/Rosie, plus 3 Spartan/Rosies in reserve).
Lastly, one more E450/Demers Type III rescue (ambo) just arrived.  It was buried in the shop with pieces hanging out of it, so I didn't ask to have it moved for photos, especially since it looks pretty much identical to the last three.
 

Here are Peoria's three new rescues (2018 Ford E-450/Demers Type III).  These will be used to open two new Rescues (R-191 and R-192), replacing contracted ambulances.  The third will go into rotation with the current three (R-193, R-195 + 1 in rotation), along with the other two new ones.  So, Peoria will have four fulltime Fire-Medical Rescues (R-191 (Oldtown), 192 (Westbrook), 193 (Thunderbird/Midtown), 195 (North)), with contracted ambulances covering the other three (PMT-194 (Oldtown), PMT-196 (Vistancia) and PMT-199 (Lake Pleasant)).
 

That’s ok.  No worries.

Out with the old, In with the new...
 

Here's the other new rig.  This was headed out the door this afternoon to go in service.
Support 197 - 2018 Freightliner M2/Rosenbauer (S. Dakota) Technical Rescue
 

I missed catching E194 before it went into service, so I'll have to wait until it's back at the shop for PM work.
In the meantime, here is Ladder 191's new rig.  It won't be in service for a couple of weeks.  The crews are doing training on it this week.

Here's a better photo of one of the new Demers...

Here's Peoria's 3rd rescue.  I was initially told it would be going to 199's at Lake Pleasant, due to the 4wd, but most recently they've just been using it in rotation with the other two.

Hello everyone - Just got my login renewed, so I can post now.
Here are Peoria's two Ford F-350/Demers Type I's that went in service earlier this year.  They'll be rotated between Rescues 193 and 195, along with the F-350/Northstar 4x4 Type I that was delivered last year.
