*I would suspect that this unit might be the former Squirt 36. Currently it is parked at the fire academy. I was told by crews training there that this squirt was struck by lightning rendering it inoperable.

Thanks for the photos. How many stations are still running out of trailers?

Great shots. New Orleans seems to be one of the few departments that still run with Squrts.

I don't know if you found this to be the case, but in my visit to New Orleans in January, I was thoroghly amazed at how upbeat and postive the firefighters and people are down there after all they went through and the way local and federal governments have treated them.
Pray that Gustav spares New Orleans more misery.

I would fully agree. The New Orleans Fire Department was among one the friendliest and most hospitable departments I have ever visited, especially considering their conditions.
Squad546, I only visited four stations that were operating out of trailers; however, I was told that two more were as well.
Tomek, Hopefully, I will have the Detroit stuff posted between today and tomorrow. There should be plenty of it!

We often think that our department has it bad (we meaning all of us), but usually there are departments that are much worse off. It is a real tragedy that 3 years after this, the city of New Orleans is still in the condition that it is. It is great to hear that the firefighters and citizens are upbeat about their situation, all things considered.
I too pray that Gustav will spare this city, as well as the U.S. as a whole!
