long beach fire

8 posts in this topic

wow looks like long beach fire has hit the jackpot this budget, in addition to restoring several units that were budget cut casualties they also just ordered 6 new seagrave pumpers as well as 1 pierce 102 foot tiller ladder and 1 pierce 107 foot rear mount ladder.   good times for them

So Seagrave engines but Pierce ladders. Interesting. Were the Seagrave ladders too pricey?

The Seagraves and aerials were purchased during 2017-2018 FY budget. This year they just approved a lease/purchase of 7 Ford E-450 ambulances.

Thanks 'RicardoBerg' on that info, I knew Burbank and Pasadena FD's had some Seagraves, but did not know of recent orders.  Are Seagraves strong rigs, are they up there with Pierce?
