    HME Chassis ?

    Is the HME chassis cab that bad that no one likes, or buys there product. I think that if you can only afford to spend so much on a apparatus and want a ( custom cab & chassis ) then you have to go with the low budget chassis. May it be a Typhoon, Metro, Intruder, Panther, Saber, Shields, etc. It is still much better than commercial cab with less room for firefighters and a better turning radius, shorter wheelbase, etc!

    Sorry my mistake, I was thinking of the Ferrara built ( Igniter ) chassis built in house with the same grill !

    Unless something has changed, the Ember is an HME product. I looked at one at FDIC and the builder's plate says so. Snazzy new Ferrara specific grill on an HME chassis.

    No different than a Smeal Sirius which is a Spartan with a Smeal specific grill.

    I was talking to a Ferrara rep at Harrisburg who I think was from long island and he said the embler chassis was made by HME and is a lower end lower chassis option to save a lot of money.

    The Ember cab sure looks like the Intruder cab (built by HME) with the Ferrara grill that is used on the Inferno and Igniter cabs. It makes me think that possibly the cab shell (at least) for the Intruder comes from HME to Ferrara where the build is completed. Anybody know for sure? I know that both Smeal and Rosenbauer have "their own cabs" that are actually built by Spartan that feature a different fascia. The Spartan cab shell used to be manufactured by Marion but I'm not sure if this is still the case.

    The Ember is made at the Ferrara plant, what you are thinking of is the low costing ( Intruder 2 ) built by HME !

    Oops!!! Wow...

    Again, I have no problem with Ferrara apparatus. I am just disappointed with the poor manner that this whole bid process was handled. Due to the way the favorites and non-favorites finished on this bid, Ferrara just happened to be in the right spot and was selected. Its good to be lucky!

    And Houston just received 2 Pierce Arrow XT 100' aluminum aerials....FYI.

    I drive one of them and it is a nice rig and we as a company are very happy to have it. Our previous Ferrara/Smeal 107' rig is being re-assigned.

    Not slamming our old Ferrara rig but............the new one is much improved
