About 15-20 years ago, I bet Lawrence could've used and put to work 38 engines. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lol.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol2:' />

Very true. I'm pretty sure their radio designation is 38 though.

West Stockbridge, MA has in the past 6-12 month received two badly needed vehicles. Rescue 3 came in almost a year ago and Engine 2 came in the beginning of 2009. Rescue 3 came in through a HS Grant it is a 4x4 GMC/Tyrone(sp?) with a small pump and primary runs as a QRS EMS vehicle. This replaced a military surplus ambulance that was used for this purpose.
Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - hoss - 03-16-2009
West Stockbridge Engine 2 is a 2009 Spartan/Crimson with a 2000GPM pump and 1000 Tank, carries class B foam, and will eventually carry the department's jaws. Chief Skorput is quite happy with this rig and this is also one of a few Spartan based rigs on the Mass. side of things, although several of WSFD's mutual aid partners in NYS (yes, Massachusetts borders NY contrary to what some in Boston may think) have similar rigs. More shots of R-3 & E-2 are on my website (finally something to put on there!).

Ted, you are indeed correct. As an AVID Lawrence Fire listener (1 scanner dedicated just to them), apparatus radio designation are still 30's for the engines, 40s for the 2 ladders and 85 for the rescue. Every once in a while youll hear them say just "engine 5" or "ladder 5", but 95% of the time, the old school radio designations are still active.

Yeah, very well lit, no Roto-ray this time. There are more pics on the union web-site. I could only get a quick shot.

To follow up on the photo I posted last week - Lenox Dale (Station 6/ Lenox, MA) Put Engine 6 in service on 3/21, and put the old Engine 6 in service as a temporary spare for the department running as Engine 62. Truck 5 and Engine 3 will be going out of service for work and Engine 62 will cover once those projects are completed Engine 62 will likely go down the road.
Lenox is a high end community with residential, industrial and a high tourist hazards. Lenox is a combination department with daytime paid staff (1 FF/janitor & the chief is often around) who man the ambulance or Engine 1 out Central station. The remain apparatus are staffed by Volunteers runningTruck 5, out of Central, Engine 3 & Truck 7 (brush) out of the New Lenox Station, which is near the Pittsfield line. and Lenox Dale which is on the east side of Rt. 7 and borders Lee.
[url="http://www.townoflenox.com/Public_Documents/LenoxMA_Fire/index"]Dept Website [/url]
Engine 6 is a 2008 Seagrave Marauder II with a 1500 single stage Triton pump, 750 water tank, no foam tank or system. 6 person cab with a 10 kw hydraulic generator. In addition to regular engine company equipment also carries ice water rescue, Hurst auto extrication tools, and confined space and high angle rope rescue gear.
Small burst of SNOW gave me some grief while trying to take some shots.

Engine "62" - both rigs have an extremely tight fit, I think they used to keep the antique Stewart pumper in this bay. Note the snow <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Oh yeah the guys and Lenox Dale want me to caption it - "The best looking engine in Berkshire County" I told them I could do that with the caveat of it being "The best looking black over red engine in Berkshire County" - they are the only one I know of.
Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - firstduephotos - 03-24-2009
It is a beauty. The gold striping & lettering really sets off the black & red combo. Not a big one for black over red myself but it looks sharp!

Right before the Melrose job came in, I had this photo op set up to take advantage of some great spring weather here in Mass. Readings Ladder 1 and Engine 2 outside headquarters. Cant wait till September to add E1 which will be E2's twin.

Thanks for posting, sharp looking rig....
Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 03-26-2009
Love those Reading units. I think the black over red looks sharp, especially with the painted steel wheels. Always preferred that look over aluminum or chrome rims (no offense to those dept.s that prefer them).
