The engines look great! If you go back a little bit too, you can see Pompano's new ladder as well

Alex, let me know if you are able to get any shots of QRV 59. I am curious to see some close up shots of the back and see if you can confirm that it has 500lbs of Purple K. I think the rig it replaces did carry Purple K. I really like ARFF rigs.

Nice to see some Hollywood shots!
New here and loving it. If anyone wants any more pictures of Hollywood or wants to come by PM me and i'll help you all out. I'll be posting my collection of pics of our rigs in the next few days as well as other random shots I have from around the state.

HAZ31MAT,
Welcome aboard!!! I'm excited and can't wait to see your collection.

Our "training" engine, still in service and can be used as a front-line piece (to the discontent of anyone who is stuck riding in it)
I'll try to get more info on this one.

This is a "show" engine, not owned by Hollywood FD but a guy who lives in the city and asked to have the engine stored at Station 105 for awhile. Im pretty sure he found somewhere else to store it. I dont know anything else about this truck.

Thats all I have on my computer. I left my work camera in my bag at the station, i'll post those one of these days
FLORIDA RIGS - Guest - 07-04-2011
Wow..I never realized that any departments still owned any classic apparatus. That ALF is mint condition. I'll have to add it to the list next time I'm down.
FLORIDA RIGS - Guest - 07-06-2011
Yeah it still works and pumps ok.
I was at our training center yesterday, but my camera has been in my bag for a few months and the battery was dead. Im charging it up now and i'll post the pics I have on there later.
When I get over to our station 74, i'll take a picture of the first pumper Hollywood ever bought.

And for those who may wonder why....
In South Florida, we call our Medic units "Rescues" because most departments do not have a dedicated Heavy Rescue team. All personnel who ride medic units in SoFla are trained firefighters. All medic units also carry SCBA and tools. Depending on the department, these medic units can also carry saws, hooks, etc. On a fire, the medic unit and its personnel typically are tasked with performing truck work. In my department, the first in Rescue will perform a search and secure utilities. Once these are done, we can assist the engines or begin to overhaul. This is why we don't call them Medics, but Rescues.
