Pacific Northwest - rlukas1 - 03-03-2013
Quote:That looks like quite a haul across the city.It is a long haul. Sometimes they go through downtown via 1st avenue, other times they'll take the quicker route by shooting up Alaska Way along the waterfront but risking a stop at a railroad crossing.

Quote:Just curious - Was the engine actually removed, or just dedicated to pumping? I assume there will be a loss of some speed? That probably won't make much difference on Lake Union, if that's where she's going.The center main engine was removed and two pumping engines were installed in that space. BTW, the old ALKI has been posted on EBAY.
BTW - Love the before and after photos. I spent some time with Station 5 back in the early 90's when they had the Chief Seattle and the Alki there. I think the Duwamish was still a reserve boat then.

Another new item at station 5 is a 23-26 foot "rescue" boat by SAFE.

Yup. Just sink one end of the "Jet Dock", move the Cheif Seattle out of the way, and you're good to go.

Quote:I just heard that it is assigned at station 27. It was kind of strange to see it listed as going out with the first alarm units, rather than being special called afterwards.I thought that was strange as well, unless it has a dedicated driver. Do you know if it's cross-staffed with E27 crew? Thanks.

At station 27, they told me Rehab1 is part of a 90 day pilot program which began on March
1st. Engine 27 and Rehab1 will respond on all first alarm fire calls in the
city with their usual crew of one officer and three firefighters. At the fire scene
they will stage with the Aid Car and Medic Unit, Fire Buffs, and Air9. They
carry snacks, soft drinks, chairs, fans, and portable lighting, along with some
decon gear and a more misc. items. The unit number is 956553, and has been
retroffited with a new box by Heiser.

Is E27 a slow company? Seems like alot of uneeded road miles to be cancelled.

They're typically one of the slowest engines in the city. See http://www.seattle.gov/fire/statistics/runTotals/10to14/companyResponseTotals_Pg3.htm for details. They've also been threatened with closure several times over the years during various city fiscal crises, so this could be a way of keeping their numbers up.

SFD Engine 2
2007 E\-One Cyclone II
E\-One SN#132997
Bob Lukas Photo
For the first time SFD has stepped up and placed an order for at least six new Pierce engines. Correction: Five engines have been ordered.
The new Ladder 3 left the plant at Appleton last Friday and should be at the dealership in Oregon at this time.
Also a new Rescue truck has been ordered from Pierce to solve the problem of an inadequate spare unit.

Quote:What do you mean that SFD "stepped up" by placing an order with Pierce?At an open house over the weekend it was mentioned that Pierce would most likely never let a one of their engines leave the factory
with the kind of bumper as is pictured in post #1274. This was one of several individual opinions, liking the fact that SFD was
"stepping up" by probably having to pay a higher price per unit for quality and a better look. Just opinions, not looking to start an argument.
SFD has been very impressed with both the quality and service they have received from Pierce after purchasing
replacements for the Rescue, Hazmat, several TDA's and their Multi Casualty Incident Unit.
Other providers have served SFD well over the years, including ALF, E\-One, Spartan, and Kenworth.

Seattle's newest Peirce TDA, until Ladder 3's new rig arrives in town, somewhere around the first of April.
