Great jobs guys! Once again, Pierce has revolutionized Firefighting! Also, I dare someone to tell me if there is better apparatus manufacturer out there...

Seagrave is slightly better. They take a bit longer to get the Finished Product out to the Customer, because they focus more on detail then how many Units they can get off the Assembly line, and out the door. Average time for Pierce from start to finish for a typical Custom Pumper is 90 to 120 days, but more and more Fire Depts out there are slowly starting to find little things going bad on Pierce Custom Engines. Seagrave's build time from start to finish is 120 to 180 days for the typical basic Custom Pumper, because again, they focus more on making sure that every single aspect of the build is done with Quality. Quality over Quantity. You pay a bit more for Seagrave than you will for Pierce, but in the long run, it's worth it. The old Addage is "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". If you buy a Pierce because you want delivery within 120 days from start of build, then expect a few issues to occur with your Unit once it goes in Service, especially if it becomes your first out piece, and you run a very high call volume. If you are willing to pay a bit more, and wait a bit longer to take delivery, then go with Seagrave. They go the extra mile to make sure that the Units they are building will not only do the job well, with little downtime, but they will do it for 20+ years if need be.

I can tell you right now the mechanics will love it. But I could just picture some of the " old timers" grumbling about it
