Yes as far as I know they are working on the specs of getting a new one. The current Rescue 1 which is a 2002 Spartan has been O.o.S. for quite sometime now because it apparently caught on fire on I-83 the way back from a shop in PA and then had to be sent to a body shop. The old '93
E\-One Hurricane Reserve Squad has been running as Rescue 1 for almost a year now it seems.

Which brings another question, does BCFD still have the old Riviera Beach rescue? Also when the new rescue comes in, what will happen with the current fleet of rescues?
The old Rivera Beach Rescue is now sitting at the academy. Baltimore hasn't used it in sometime. Rumor is new Rescue 1 will be built by
Pierce and look something like FDNY Rescue 1 who knows. Im sure they will keep the
E\-One as a Reserve since that all Baltimore has. When the
E\-One goes down they end up using the Reserve Squad Engine. If that goes down they end up running a reserve engine

When I was there a few years ago they were in a reserve engine, and 2 jeep cherokies to carry all of the equipment.
I know when the
E\-One goes down and the Rescue Engine its slim pickens. That why I'm sure they will keep it. Funny is they did not like the
E\-One. They complained about it. Now they are holding onto it like crazy. Karma. The Spartan-Rescue 1, was last seen out west somewhere at a truck stop. Where-abouts unknown.
i thought the newest rescue was a
Pierce
The current rescue that is m.i.a. is a Spartan Gladiator-Rescue 1.
what problems are they having with it???
Apparently no one can confirm, but rumor has it that it caught on fire heading to a repair facility. It was last seen somewhere out west at a truck repair shop. I know
Rescue-1/PL-Custom is in Jersey. Is Spartan Motors out west? Who knows it has been gone from Baltimore at least 8 or 9 months if not longer

Any word on if the truck is coming back? Maybe as a spare?
Also the since the E-1 is smaller than the Rescue1, does that mean they aren't able to carry all the extra tools while they are using the reserve?
As far as I know they carry their full compliment of equipment. The last we heard down here was that it was not coming back. It is very tight lip for some reason. You ask around and no one knows anything. Rumors on a new
Pierce rescue is the latest. It was like the two
Pierce rearmounts there was very little said until they showed up.
