I was recently at Klein and the guys I spoke with never mentioned any new rigs.  Brindlee Mountain is listing four pumpers for sale, three Pierce Enforcers and one E\-One Cyclone II.  No new apparatus have been delivered to Klein yet and no one I talked to knew what was coming.

Your next trip will be worth it!  MANY departments in the area have apparatus on order besides Spring, Klein - Atascocita (E\-One pumper/truck) Porter (Ember) and the Pierce site has many  ...plus the new apparatus coming into Houston.

 

I saved that coffee - same pot!  When ever you are ready to come back.
