Saw two new trucks at the shops yesterday. One is labeled truck 15 and the other didn’t have numbers on it yet. Don’t know if I mentioned it on a earlier post but truck 37 is get a new rig also.

The pic of that Rosenbauer rig. Maybe weird lighting (probably is), but it looks like it has blue lights. Maybe it's just a demo, which would make sense.

Wrong that’s not one of the newest RAs. I didn’t manage to get any pics but it’s pretty much the same. Only thing I noticed was the front light bar has a full clear lense ( not the red shell on top ) and the rear light bar was removed and replaced with single lights.

The New Electric Fire Engine really is more a European and a "Overseas" design. Most European and other countries including the Mid East and Asia have fire engines that look alot like that. If you notice the Engine company looks alot more like a bus without windows. There are other electric fire engines that being made more to an American Design and I personally prefer an American Traditional Design to this Overseas design.

What is going on with truck 9 I saw them running a first generation ALF permanent numbering and lettering on it. Is that going to be there regular front line truck or are the shops going fix up the one that was scorched in the fire downtown a few years ago?
