Keep in mind, Medics 8B and 9B are among the busiest units in the city. Reassigning an older unit may not have been a good option because of the amount of running they do.

[/quote]Does the "B" designation mean it's a BLS unit or is it a 2nd ALS unit running from a specific location or in a specific area?

The B designation is BLS. It is staffed by 2 FF/EMTS.

Don't worry it's happened in our city too. Remember seeing one of the old Spartan FMC engines about 10 years ago running as Rescue 1 at Steadman.

[/quote]I can remember the first trip to the firehouse convention 7 or 8 years ago, I saw 3 different trucks running as R-1 over the few days I was there.

Medic 5's old piece, the GMC with property number ending in 388 is now Medic 4-B.

[Guest]

I remember when the Medic units were designated Rescue 11-M, Rescue 7-M etc.

Engine 116, thats new

Snorkel 28

1997 KME 85'



Medic 26 has Medic 17's former 2009 GMC/Horton 095289

Medic 39 has Medic 6's former 2009 GMC/Horton 085413

Medic 41B has Medic 20's former 2006 Ford/Horton 065265



Both Medics 237A and Medic 237B have 2006 Ford/Hortons. Odd to see spare units have 2006 models when Medic 46B still has a 2002 Model and Medic 43B has a 2003 model. Medic 15's and Medic 38's GMCs have yet to be reassigned so I assume that will change that.

[jpw25pfd]

Medic 15's 2008 GMC / Horton will go to Medic 46B and Medic 38's 2008 GMC / Horton will be reassigned to Medic 42B.

What are M10,13,15,17,23,29,36 running? They're gaps in my list im trying to fill in.

It's nice to see a new Snorkel, even if it is a KME. was this from an older vehicle?

Yes, the boom was remounted from a 1978 ALF.
