I've heard the skyboom and Tower are in but the rest are still awaiting delivery.
For more info try "delawarefirefighter.com". More delaware firefighters read the posts quicker on there and may be able to answer better.

As of last night 7/25/06

Skyboom 2 is in service at Station 2.

Engine 6 is still the old KME. Besides that I can't help you.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a SKYBOOM?

Pierce's version of the Snorkel "Tele-Squirt". Snorkel's fire equipment division was sold to American LaFrance, so Pierce built their own version.
