Posted June 19, 2021 In the new copy (June 2021) of Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equipment, they have a nice article on SDFR acquiring the new Pierce TDA's, Truck 1 & Truck 35. The article goes on to mention SDFR will be ordering (if not already in-build) 2 more exact same specs TDA's for a total of 4. Aerial is 102 feet and the Ascendant brand. I thought the Ascendant was 107'. Interesting to note from article, that the aerial ladder is not pre-plumbed with waterway. I recall the former Santee FD T4, was not plumbed and some of the FF's complained about that. And thoughts out there on this debate of pre-plumbed or none? I tried to get a link for the article but so far it looks like Fire Apparatus magazine has not posted the article on-site. I have inserted a pic I took of the specs on T1 and T35. ~Rescue51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
