Posted April 16, 2014 Any one know if LAFD has ordered new CFR rigs for LAX? Since the Colets where canceled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 21, 2014 From what I heard a few months back from an Engineer at LAFD 80's, that one Colet ARFF rig was built and delivered supposedly to LAFD specs. but, really wasn't. That Colet was to be the new ARFF 180. It's in an undisclosed hangar at LAX, in litigation. Looks a little different than the one that was at 80's from Ontario IAP a year or so ago. It didn't sound like LAFD was very interested in Oshkosh either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2014 Engine5161, I saw a picture of a Colet in LAFD markings. Colet does not have a good reputation with so many other depts selling there's.I wonder what the issue is with Oshkosh? Thanks for the info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 23, 2014 Not really sure why LAFD supposedly is not interested in Oshkosh bidding again. It sounded like LAFD 80's is/was interested in seeking a bid from Rosenbauer and some foreign ARFF vehicle mfg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 23, 2014 Just like Pierce products, don't think you can go wrong with Oshkosh for CFR/ARFF rigs. You get what you pay for. It's worth spending some more to get the quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
