Incident: BR14 and others near median on Montezuma (SDFD)

[California Red 11]

Anybody been scanning today, or happen to be going up the hill today? Early afternoon, I saw for the first time Brush 14 (one of those European brush trucks from a few years ago). What a monster! I thought they gave up on those. I think I also saw a glimpse of B4, E10, some PD and others. I couldn't tell what was going on. Anybody know?

Thanks.  Are the Ultra-XT's going to get phased out?  Do you know if other departments order though (if still produced)?  They carry a nice load of water.

I'm curious, as well. Are the XT's being phased out or are they what the new order is for?
