I beleive Long Hill still has this rig to use as a spare engine / rescue for the department. I am not sure though.

Was re-assgined as Squad 1 back in the early 2000 with the organization of Squad 1 and Squad 2. Squad 1 is housed with Engine 8. Engine 8 operated with a spare Pierce Arrow pumper that saw service as Engine 6 or 10 and later used a 1995 Pierce Dash which I believe was formally Engine 15. Engine 8 received a new Pierce Quantum which was assigned to Engine 5 for a few months while their quint was out for refurbishment. This rig served as Squad 1 until about two / three years ago when it was replaced with a new Pierce Lance rescue pumper. This rig was transferred over to Squad 2 at that time and now will be placed as a reserve squad upon the placing in service of Squad 2's new Arrow XT rescue pumper.

Izzy....firenews.org lists Eng 8 in New Haven as being taken out of service for budgetary reason.....


State Of Conneticut - Guest - 10-25-2011

TNT.... There is talk that eventually E-8 will be taken off duty and replaced with a Emergency Unit ( Paramedic Unit ). The apparatus in the picture is now running as Squad 2 and E-8 runs with a Pierce Quantum.
