Very cool. I like Ladder 28 the best...
Here in the Fox Valley we have three major manufacturers of fire equipment-
Pierce (Appleton)

Seagrave (Clintonville)

And last but certainly not least, Oshkosh Truck (Oshkosh).

Oshkosh specializes in Airport crash trucks, while the other two are the more common municipal-type trucks...and incidentally Oshkosh and Pierce are related through common ownership.
We see trucks from all over the country (and world) getting delivered on the highway here. My most memorable was the convoy of three flatbeds this spring, with airport crash trucks. Painted on the side of each was "Baghdad International Airport".

Looks CFD has awarded Ford an exclusivity in supplying the light vehicles, starting with the liason and chief's LTD.Too bad my distant cousin Captain Jacques Boinet / Avignon Fire Department, has no website : he won't see your nice and informative pictures.
