Ummm since you have cleared up the ownership info in the station what is the status of Rescue 503?

Did E408 and E423 switch off or something or did the wheels change? That thing had black rims last time I saw it, didn't it?

Engin 423 was falling apart and spent more time OOS than in service. Engine 408 is the original 8 rig.

And like my last visit to 414 both Quantums Gone.... (1 in shop, 1 Transferred) I only went for the Rescue, Tech Rescue, and Water Rescue and they were the only things I didnt get. Despite all 3 being in service in quaters! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Banghead' />

From what I understand 23's Quantum is OOS and being used at the academy. It was replaced by an 05 county Pierce Engine out of the reserve pool

The Pierce Dash came from Merrifield (30) when they got their Velocity. Annandale's Quantum had been spending more and more time at EMTA, it is just plain wore out.

Remington Volunteer Fire & Rescue. The station apron is very close to the road which at times made it a challenge to capture certain angles .

A lot of pride was evident at Company 2. Thanks to the guys and the chief for their hospitality and accommodation.

Company 23 is slated to receive one of the new Velocity's when they arrive - much to the chagrin of the Engine guys there who love the Dash.

[/quote]Any idea why the box lights look black? I'm guessing they're LEDs and it's just an angle / lighting / photography thing but they sure do look black.
