Posted December 2, 2017 The present unit is Tower 7, a 2012 Pierce Q Seems strange to switch it for an aerial at this location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2017 Checked LVFR Facebook page and there is more pictures of this unit They describe it as a quint, but I thought that the present Tower 7 was a quint, maybe not The new unit is a quint so as to replace their former engine which is now at Station 107 in Sun City Summerlin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2017 At this time Truck 7 is in a pierce quantum quint, due to it being extremely slow going up hills for emergencies and constantly being out of service for electrical issues they are replacing it with this new Smeal, same features in regard to it being a quint since there is no longer an engine at 7. They went with a straight stick instead of a bucket due to it being a little bit less weight since the tank and pump take up a lot. Unknown where the current unit will go but we should see within the next month or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2017 Maybe they should have gone with a TDA instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2017 It would be nice, but the department is figuring a lot of things out when it comes to apparatus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2017 Ricardo, las vegas got rid of the TDA's , so they can get rid of of 6 a/o, enginers, cause that is how they manned the tiller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
