It was initially supposed to have a 2009 Pierce Contender, which was reassigned and now they are going to be assigned a Spartan/Quality. (Unknown former Engine #'s) until the next round of engines come in.

I know there aren't a lot of buffs in Austin, and I know that COA Fleet doesn't even have a proper list! I'm sure the FD may have one, but not compiled as a roster.

Something is really missing from those impels, I bet they would look sharp in the darker red with gold leaf like the first generation quantums

Does anyone have any photos of the "old" platforms that used to be a 1 and 8? I think there may have been a third one but I am not sure. Were they Grumman, maybe?
