March 2022 Newsletter
Greetings! Welcome to your Fire Replicas March Newsletter!

As we are still in our annual slow period, this month's newsletter will be brief. But we have a packed 2022 in store as momentum builds in the next 60 days. For now, some notable good news is that our backlog of fire apparatus models is cleared up and our newest announcement, the Mack B61 Dump Trucks, is the only project we've released that is currently stuck in Los Angeles.

Our factory team is back at work after a well-deserved break and our first shipment of the 2022 year will be leaving HK at the end of this month. As in recent years, 2022 will see 3-4 new releases per month. We'll continue our commitment to FDNY and Chicago, working our way through their respective rich histories of fire apparatus. In addition, we'll see some new departments added to the mix, including a family of LA County replicas.

Unfortunately, we fully expect the continuing shipping crisis to yield long, expensive transit in 2022...but as always, we'll do all we can to minimize delays and any price increases.

This newsletter's new releases are the last products that left the factory before the break. FDNY's 1982 American LaFrance Pumpers and 2016 Seagrave TDA's bookend the FDNY releases and we'll begin accepting orders for our first LA County release...the Ward LaFrance Engine 51. We expect all these to arrive in April/May as they are currently in LA.

Thank you again for being part of the elite group of Fire Replicas collectors. We hope each of you has a great March!
