All of the 2009s should be replaced and sold off from I understand since Arlington does that lease type of program . Any idea who will receive the other 5 engines?

The talk is Engines 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 9 and 10 have the most milage and hours on them. This would put Engine 2, 3, 9 and 10 into the reserve pool.

Ok Thanks . I still have a lot of catching up to do before the new ones arrive . Was I accurate about the (6) 2009 Pierce 1st generation Pierces getting traded back in?

Yes the 6, 2009s Pierce engines are to be sold to Brindlee Mountain for a pre-negotiated price. Also the new medics on the ford chassis' should go back in service this week!

As of the other day, 5 of the 6 were already under contract and the sixth wasn't far behind. We were looking at one as a reserve.

Yesterday was a banner day for apparatus photography with a ton of fire stations hosting open houses. Nabbed several pieces of apparatus off my to-do list.

We start with Technical Rescue 110 for Arlington County. 2003 Freightliner FL-80 (unconfirmed) with a Hackney trailer, temporarily housed at Station 1 off Glebe Road:

Continuing with Hazmat 101, also a Freightliner FL80 (also unconfirmed) paired with a Hackney trailer. Station 1 is its' permanent home:

Continuing with MAB100, Arlington County's medical ambulance bus, which is a Thomas Saf-T-Liner EF/Sartin that was bought with grant money that also provided Fairfax, Loudoun, and 4? other counties with MAB units.

MCSU 100 is an International Durastar/Hackney that also runs out of Station 2 Ballston. I wanted to shoot the command post too but they had no qualified drivers on site, so it sat inside the garage.

Alexandria's reserve truck is a 2012 Spartan Gladiator ERV w/ 100' ladder. Seen here filling in for Truck 208, which is out for the long term currently.
