Seth - Didn't Newark NJ FD recently purchase some new rigs from American LaFrance? If so, interesting to see some Municipalities who have recently purchased ALF Rigs have now switched over to other brands. Yes, a municipalities must go with the lowest bid submitted and in this case, it just may be that Ferrera came in with the lowest bid. But, reading about the finanicial difficulities that ALF has been going thru during the past 2 years or so, and with it, many loyal ALF customers switching over to other brands (ie: Newark NJ, Yonkers NY, etc) I can only wonder about the future of ALF.

Seems like they are.. I still wonder why Garrison Fire Equipment is no longer a dealer for them.
