Sacramento Metro New Pierce Engines

6 posts in this topic

SacMetro Fire District has 3 new Enforcer pumpers from Pierce.

They usually have engines Quantum cabs and Federal Q2B Mechanical sirens.

(From watching various YT Videos responding with lights & siren) .

New engines doesnt have Q2B

(EQ2B perhaps? HMM)

Nice looking none the less.

Pierce, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, CA, 34278-1

They have Q2B's. They appear to be behind the bumper with an electronic style siren cover. Few departments have gone that route.

Sac Metro I believe went from Dash, to some Velocity, to mainly Quantum, to now Enforcers for their Engines.

Oh I see.

San Jose (CA) Fire Dept is doing something similar to Sac Metro with their new Pierce Tiller trucks the Q2B siren is behind the bumper as well.

I noticed watching YT videos that Seattle (WA) FD their engines & trucks has Q2B sirens but use EQ2B sirens instead of the Motorola Spectra Electric siren. (unless its a speaker with a Q Covering they use both sirens)

The differences could be cost, and I notice the wheelbase is shorter than previous pumpers, maybe  they have some access issues in the district or on Strike team assignments.

Also just could be a tag on purchase but I don't think so.  district is a bit big for that.

Seattle only uses EQ2B siren on all newer apparatus.
