Posted December 7, 2013 Saw a photo of Anaheim Truck 8 on the Pierce website. Small ladder just like the old E-one they had. But noticed the graphics have changed. Is this the 1st new rig with the new graphics and when did they make the change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2013 Charles, which pierce site did you see the new truck 8 on. I looked on pierce's main site and flickr page as well as the south coast equiptment page and cannot find it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 9, 2013 found it, just didn't scroll down far enough, sorry , anyway chuck, the new graphics have been around for about 6 months now. they are on the 5 new type 3 engines, and a few of the newer vehicles in the fleet. I assume they will get around to changing all the rigs to the new as money permits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 13, 2013 chuck, Anaheim purchased 5 type 3 engines from pierce, they are engines 301,308,309,310 and a fifth that has not been assigned yet. I am having trouble uploading a pics . if you go the the website firepics online, then go to so-cal small cities on page 45 there is a pic from monrovia1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 14, 2013 Found the type 3 engines in a story in the O C Register in August 2013: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/engine-522234-fire-new.html?pic=2 These are built by HME on International chassis Similar to the EMA (OES) type 3s built by HME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 14, 2013 the rigs are hme. but pierce is doing some of the maintenance on them. pierce is also converting 3 of their 2004 crimson tillers to quints, adding a pump, tank and some other features as Anaheim will be placing these units as stand alone paramedic trucks in the near future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
