Gloucester Engine 10 is a 2008 KME severe Service Engine. it replaced a late eighties FMC. In a show of regional cooperation the FMC unit is operating in nearby Middlesex county while several of their units are out of service for repairs. Sorry I did not get a closed door shot

This is former Henrico Division of Fire Chemical 9. this unit was built in the early eighties using components of Henrico's Task force Engine which is posted earlier in this thread. When the task force Engine was made into a regular engine. the dry checmical tanks and turret were moved to this truck. It is now privately owned by a Gentleman that owns at least 10 former Henrico Units

Next up is a Pierce Dash Engine from Manakin Fire Rescue in Goochland County. I believe it is 1500/750 with Cafs. It is one of 6 identical units bought, one for each company in Goochland. Unfortunately, engine 51 was totaled in a rollover accident soon after being placed in service. it has since been replaced with a Pierc Velocity and the Driver of the unit has made a full recovery.

Next Up is Manakins Squad 17. It is a Pierce Lance Heavy Rescue. 5 of the 6 Companies in Goochland run some type of meduim or heavy rescue unit.

That stateman is correct. The companies in Chesterfield, VA, which have voluinteers, radio signature begins with TWO OH (20_)

This was 100% correct in the past, however, this changed when the six new Enforcers went in service. There aren't any rigs designated "Reserve" anymore, they all fall into the "200 series." This is how the roster changed:
201 (Reserve) (ex E-11)
202 (Reserve) (ex E-2)
203 (Reserve) (ex E-3)
204 (Volunteer) (ex E-4)
205 (Volunteer)
206 (Volunteer)
212 (Reserve) (ex E-12)
217 (Reserve) (ex E-9)
219 (Reserve) (ex E-8)
Hope this helps...

Thanks Taylor...hadn't seen that list! 206 is Ex E-6...I believe all the older Mack CF's are out of the stations now, though a couple are still used at the Training Center.
Also noteworthy, Stations 4 and 5 (Bon Air and Midlothian) have the most active Volunteer membership of any of the combination stations by far...also 4 and 5 (Along with 6...Enon...and 13(Phillips) have the best Fire Prevention Week Open Houses (Casper played at 6's)

Taylor, thanks!
I wasn't aware that they had made this change.. What about the rig in the 16's that looks like a reserve or volunteers ride? Reserve or Volley??
How about Trucks?? Where are the reserves?
Has HDF Engine 6 come in and in service??
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - Roto-Ray - 10-21-2008
Rob, John:
Glad that I could help.
The rig at 16 is a reserve/volly rig. The Midlothian (Co 5) volunteers have a small contingency of personnel at Co 16, and this is their rig. However, it's usual function is that it's a ready reserve for the career staff at Co 5 and Co 16 in case Engine 5 or Engine 16 goes out of service. If E216 is not available, they'll try to get E219.
The only remaining canopy-cab Mack CF's are at the training center, none are out in the field.
There is only one reserve truck right now, "Big Nasty." It's the dual-axle 75' Scope that's normally quartered at FS9. However, when T7's new Quantum 100' rear mount comes in after the first of the year, their 1997 Quantum aerial will replace the 75' Scope as the only reserve aerial in the fleet. The 'Scope will be disposed of.
Henrico Engine 6 will probably be in service in the next 4 weeks or so. We're expecting it in-quarters any time.
