Tim your guess is as good as  mine.The numering scheme is crazy here.Their 1st run Engine is Engine 35 and their Ambulance is Rescue 33 while they are I believe Station 16 in the Navy number system.

Anybody know the status of the new tower for Alexandria??  Haven't been able to find anything regarding it on websites.  Would figure by now that it was almost done, but nothing on the Spartan ERV under Progress page.

I have not heard about Alexandria getting a new tower yet. I have heard rumors but haven't actually heard of them starting a process on a new one.

[Engine504Driver]

Alexandria has on order :

 

Five (5) 2013 Spartan Gladiator / Custom Fire Pumpers 2000gom/750gwt (due in March)

One (1) 2013 Spartan Gladiator / Custom Fire 100' Mid-Mount Tower

Four (4) 2013 International TerraStar / Horton Ambulances

Should be a Spartan ERV tower. I checked all over and can't find anything about it. The tiller was delivered. Figured it wouldn't be far behind.

Sandy Springs Fire Rescue was launched in 2006 and is running over 10,000 runs annually from four stations, protecting a population of almost 100,000.  I am not the least bit surprised that the rigs are wearing out.  Most silly managers, I mean city managers, are nothing but bullies and certainly not problem solvers.  If Chief Fish has to make cuts, he'll probably cut Engine 2 first.  It's the busier of the two engines, but Engine 1 runs out of a nearby Roswell station part of the time, to reduce response times to a section of Sandy Springs that is remote from their stations.  The City of Sandy Springs has never built a fire station, they incorporated their city limits and took over three Fulton County stations and one Atlanta station.

 

If Chief Fish has to look for another job, I don't think he'll have much trouble.....

 




 

Dave - what I said occurred in Richmond and not Sandy Springs.

No problem Brother.  You are allowed one for the year.

Didn't sandy springs buy all their trucks new in 2006?

Yes but they have high mileage and they will trade them in when they get new rigs.

I am trying to remember where I saw this but sometime later this year, which sounded like summer or fall.

[Engine410kid]

I'll see what i can find out about the tower, Alexandria will also begin using the FDNY bailout system soon, just to let everyone know!
