Whenever a department writes the specifications for a new apparatus, part of the process should be to look at the apparatus being delivered to other departments around the country. What are they specifying? Why did they select a particular chassis or component? How do they feel about their choices now that the apparatus are in service?

Here are the specs of some recent apparatus deliveries. They are listed in alphabetical order by state or province:
