Lauren - 

I'm following-up on your question regarding the Metro Washington Airport Authority having an onhighway engine. Pierce has engineered the on-highway ISL425 in the Arrow XT for airports that 

want the flexibility to use on and off highway. The Arrow XT can have a non-road engine, but 

ultimately it will be the airport authority that will spec out what type of engine they want in the XT.

Thanks,

-Rich

 _____ 
Rich and others,

Please find attached some customer survey responses from June 2012. This was not an EPA 

survey, nor did the responses come to EPA. They were collected by some fire chiefs and reviewed 

by the Fire Apparatus Manufacturers’ Association (who extracted the answers into a spreadsheet). 

I have attached a blank survey so you can see the questions. Access to the scanned originals is 

difficult, since they are mixed in with dozens of others in a non-searchable format.

Even today I tend to get a couple calls a week with additional complaints of ambulances or fire 

trucks having troublesome emissions controls. 

I noticed something else of interest in the file that I wanted to ask you about. One of the survey 

respondents is from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. His comments talk about 

having to take the truck off duty to run on the roads 30-40 minutes once or twice a month. EPA 

thought airport fire trucks had nonroad engines. Do you know if their ISL425 (in a Pierce Arrow 

XT) could have an on-road certification?

Thanks for your continued cooperation as we work through these challenges.

Lauren
