[quote name='Tim' post='197468' date='Mar 16 2008, 20:29 ']I was out at 441 last year and they were running what appeared to be a new Pierce Dash then. Was it a new one? and wheres it going once they get this new one?[/quote]
not sure if it's going to be sent to another station, which is likely but i have no idea which one, or going into the reserve fleet.

[quote name='bigbadred411' post='197446' date='Mar 16 2008, 19:55 ']Engine 441 is a 2007 Pierce dash, CAFS engine. 1 of 4 I believe. It was allowed to come all the way from Pierce in Wisconsin to DC for the St.Pattys day parade today, only to have to go back in the near future for the finishing touches. I noticed the top of the cab is red, maby a new paint scheme coming about?[/quote]
Correction- The engine was finished early so it could be here for the parade. The other engines are coming soon.

Engine 441 did get one of the second batch of Pierce Dash's. I believe the third batch all have CAFS. I have to look but I believe that 416, 412, 420 and apparently 441 will get the 3rd batch. I am sure the 2nd batch rig assigned to E441 will be reassigned.
[quote name='Dave McClung' post='102164' date='Apr 27 2007, 20:22 ']The first batch of Pierce Dash pumpers went to Engines 404, 411, 418, 421, 428, 429, 430, 431, 434 and 440. 2005 Pierce Dash pumpers 1500 GPM, 625 GWT, 40 GFT.
The second batch went to Engine 407 at the Training Academy, Engine 425, 426, 436, and 441. 2007 Pierce Dash pumpers 1500 GPM, 750 GWT, 50 GFT, driver side ladder rack.
I believe there are 4 more Dash pumpers on order for delivery later this year with specs similar to the second batch of 5.
Here is Engine 430 from the first batch of pumpers.

I personally dig the red accent on the roof
Fairfax County VA - Guest - 03-18-2008
The red accent roof has been popping up more and more from what I've noticed.
Hamilton Wagon 5 in Loudoun County has a red accent roof on a black over red Pierce
and the same can be said for Hershey PA with a red roof on a black over red Seagrave.
Guess this is a new offering in paint schemes from the two manufacturers.

Have a question for all of the Fairfax County guys. I was down in the county taking pictures the other day. When I stopped at the shops I was able to get Greater Springfields new engine moved for pictures. It is labeled for Engine 422. I have that number listed for both their 1998 Pierce Quantum, and 2002 Pierce Dash. Can anybody provide whether they still have these, or what they were reassigned to.
Thanks

The quantum that was E422(career) had alot of problems with it, from what i understand, and was just easier to sell off and use our reserve dash as frontline. The other quantom is still in service as the volunteers engine(E822 or E422B). The dash is MIA to my knowledge due to a county reserve E\-One cyclone 2 running as frontline right now for the career guys right now till the new engine goes in service. Hope this helps.

What happened to the Pierce Saber they had?

Fairfax County VA - Guest - 04-07-2008
The Pierce saber is still here and is acting as frontline for the career guys till the new engine goes in service. At that point it will act as a reserve or will be sold off.

From what I've been told, the red roof on the FFX County rig denotes it's a CAFS engine. Non CAFS rigs will continue to sport the white roof.

I have heard the same thing. We must frequent the same message board or something....

The GMC/White Foam unit at Fairfax City FD will be sold to Cherry Hill FD, NJ later this month.

The Red Roof "option" has been around for a while.Prince Frederick has had it since 1989. And if I recall correctly, their 1976 Emg.22,"Red Cloud" Hendrickson/Pierce had it also.

The 4 new CAFS pumpers to be assigned to 412, 416, 420, and 441 have not yet gone into service. I found 412 at the North Apparatus Shop.
