That new Arlington County spec is beautiful. My jealousy is palpable

Mechanical engineers build weapons, whereas civil engineers build targets.
When the man at the door said," Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms", I, naturally assumed it was a delivery!

They are getting ready to release an RFP for several Quints, Pumpers and three Heavry Rescues. As of now they are staying with the TQC. [/quote] The chief has said he is "open" to looking at making some changes to the "TQC". It's VERY hard to justify 20 aerial ladders in 20 stations when virtually no other city in the country (save for St. Louis to a certain extent) is doing the same. It's also VERY hard to justify 2 front line pieces for every company. Most in the department would agree we could do very well with a mix of quints and traditional engine companies. What ever route we go with though, we will still need some quints. The 4 current 105' Pierce's are in ROUGH shape and are becoming a major maintenance issue and will need to be replaced. The 3 Rescue's are also well past their useful life span. I can't remember the exact figure but our apparatus maint. budget is well over $1 million a year now and we are struggling to keep rigs in service every day. Hopefully we will have the bid advertised soon.
Fairfax County, VA
Tanker 41 - "Crosspointe District" As with all Tankers in Fairfax County this is paired with a Pierce Dash CAFS Engine Company
Sterling Volunteer Fire Company
Loudoun County, VA Engine Company 11 I will defer to those more in the loop than I but I believe this rig has since been replaced by a KME rig
Fairfax County, VA "Edsal Road District" - also known as "Guardians of the Slab"
Rescue Company 26's former rig - now in the reserve fleet Not the best shot - Rescue 26 arrived 1st in to a townhouse fire and knocked down the bulk of the fire with their bumper line
