Has anyone managed to get really good posed shot of the new Striker yet?

Either ex Truck 2 or 14, as Truck 1's was destroyed in a mva which resulted in a horrific LODD as the TD was burned to death by the rupture of the Pirsch gas tank under the driver's seat. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Dave,



Not that I know of. The new Foam 2 has been a royal pain this year. I still don't think it is officially in service. It is now at E13/T10's quarters though.

Its a shame that truck turned out like that.

Do any of the Hahn trucks or engines still exist at all today??

The new FU2 is not in service yet.

Smiley,



None that I can think of. They had one of the Hahn/Grove tillers retractored by a Pierce, that is in reserve status.

Not anymore it isn't. Awaiting disposal.

New Medic-1 is representative of the next batch of EMS transport units.

ResQguy,



Thanks for the info on the Pierce/Grove. Didn't realize it was deadlined. Saw it at the academy less than 2 months ago. I know that both ALF/LTI's are on that list. Also, the new Medic 1 that you posted. Is it completely new or a remount like 11, and 15? Any idea what the other assignments are? I see another unit in front of it.

Question regarding old Truck 1- Was the telephone booth -style rear cab area on both sides of the rig or only drivers side ? what was manning like on that rig [ every seat taken ]? Lastly, does anyone have pics of what that interior looked like in that back cab area ?

Sorry, for whatever reason it wouldnt allow me to continue writing the post. Reason why im asking is that I'd like to build this rig in 1/87th scale so I'm looking for different angles as far as pics go.

Thanks in advance !

Rico

The DCFD currently staffs it's truck companies with 5 people. In the early 90's we had the staffing on our trucks reduced from 5 to 4. The staffing returned to 5 people in the early 00's. Many years ago the DCFD had 6 person truck companies, though I don't know when it got changed to 5.
