Navy Vale moved from Vale Road to RT50 when they built the Fair Oaks Combination Fire Station and Police District Station in the 80s. Fire Station 31 was close to 21 before the move and left a big open area that was rapidly growing near RT66 and RT50 along RT50........

Minor correction, "old" Station 21 was NOT on Vale Rd. It was on Bennett Rd, just off of West Ox Rd

Actually it's in Newport, Vermont. If I can figure out how to scan in & re-size a photo I'll post one.[quote name='Roto-Ray' timestamp='1296861878' post='423773']

Has anyone seen Engine 410 and Ladder 410 since they got back from Pierce? How do they look? Any pictures?

I work near to FS10 and see them everyday. Haven't seen them close up, they look the same. T410 stays outside , even in this cold weather, sometimes with the engine running. It gets moved to FS28 at nite for security.

T410 is having some electrical problems now, possibly related to the roof of FS10 sitting on top of it for awhile. T410 is running a reserve Pierce 105' RM, old T429.

I was thinking whether I would want one of these or a Striker.......I prefer to be able to offroad so I went with a Striker.......I also like pumper and roof turrets that are hydrochem capable.......
