South Metro placed the "new" Tender 39 in service yesterday. It was sold by Brindlee Mountain and was originally yellow. I don't know what department it came from but it was labeled with "92" and had a department name that started with EA and ended in Y...The shadow from those letters still remain on the back of the tank.
The chassis is a 1997 Freightliner with a 3,300 gallon water tank & 500 gpm pump. It underwent a considerable refurbishment by the South Metro Shops.

You can still see the shadow from the original writing on the back of the tank. I could make out "EA..." but not much more.

There's a booster reel located under the officer's seat but the rig does not have pump and roll capability.

I also shot Brush Engine 39 while I was there. It's a 2000 International / E\-One with a 500 gallon water tank, 1250 gpm pump, CAFS system, light tower & bumper mounted turret. It's one of two Type III Engines that serve South Metro's District and is always cross-staffed with Engine 39, the crew is all Wildland Team members.

South Metro also placed DeCon 3 in service recently, one of several MMRS Units delivered to the metro area. It's being housed at Station 38 in Cherry Hills Village.

Awesome Shoop, thanks! I was hoping someone knew its origins. Do you have a photo of it as Tanker 92?

Castle Rock Fire Rescue held dedication ceremony's yesterday for their two new Engine's. Although conditions weren't ideal for posed photos I was still able to get some decent shots of the rig set ups. CRFD contracted with KME to build a standard Engine, a Rescue Engine and a Quint for a price tag just under 2 million dollars. The Chief, Chaplain & Mayor all spoke before each rig was backed into the bay for the first time as an in service unit.
Rescue Engine 151 - 500 gallon water tank, 40 gallon foam tank, 1750 gpm two stage pump. This is CRFD's busiest company.

As the Rescue Engine, E151 has added compartment space for cribbing and a full complement of extrication tools. The ladder rack is electronic and allows for access into the compartments if needed when it'd down. Booster reels made a come back on these rigs for rubbish and small vegetation fires.

CRFD designed both Engines with shoulder height hose beds. All of the structural pre-connects are pulled from the hose bed and the only cross-lay is an 1.75" for vehicle fires. The previous Engine had a bumper tray for the car fire line but on this unit it's been replaced with a winch and bin for a pony section of 5" supply line.
