Resv Engine 7 was a "bumped down" 1975 Maxim. There were 3 or 4 of these in Trenton when new. I did not know who operated the rig before it was moved to Resv. status.

[Guest]

Engine 8 operated this 1991 KME. It was JUST replaced by a new KME near the end of last year.

[Guest]

Engine 9 used this unknown year Sutphen Engine . This rig and Engine 3 Hahn were the last two rigs in the city to be painted Lime. 1989 saw the department return to Red (with a white roof).

Nice shots of the Trenton rigs John. I remember all the lime rigs from when i was a young kid buffing Trenton with my father. Both my parents are originally from Trenton.

[Guest]

Engine 10 used this 1979 Maxim. It was a "regular" engine but sent out for retrofitting of a 55 foot Redi-tower. It returned in 1984 and maintained its Lime Color.

Engine 9 used this unknown year Sutphen Engine .

1982 Sutphen 1000/500, HS-1634.

After some tech issues... Trenton's TRUCKS!



Ladder 1 broke the LIME barrier by coming into the City in 1989 with this Red & White Thiabult 85 foot Skypod.

[Guest]

Ladder 2 had this Lime 1978 American LaFrance Tiller (TDA). It later went to Ladder 3 in 1997. It was traded in to KME when Ladder 1 got there new tiller in 2001.

[Guest]

Ladder 2 now has this 1997 Simon/LTI Tiller

[Guest]

Ladder 3 used this 1979 mate to Ladder 2's ALF. Shown here at work after the ladder pipe was shut down at a 2 alarm junk yard fire near Route 1.

[Guest]

Ladder 4 at HQ operated this 1977 Pirsch Tiller. I saw it in a rear yard one day not long ago. Not sure of its status now.

[Guest]

Ladder 4 ran this 1994 Simon/LTI for a short time. I THINK it went to Ladder 3 in 2000 and was there until they were closed. It MIGHT be a reserve Ladder at this time.

[Guest]

My error... RESCUE 1 had the FIRST red and white rig in the City...

This 1987 GMC/E-One Rescue ran until 1996 when it became the Reserve Rescue... It is still in this status at HQ. Rescue 1 was move there when the New HQ opened.

[Guest]

Rescue 1 operates this 1996E-One Hush Rescue. It is shown operating at a 2 alarm Junk yard fire near Route 1. Rescue members were operating a foam line close to the deep seated tire fire.

[Guest]

Trenton referbed this Special Service unit that was a Light and Air unit into SS-1 HAZ MAT unit. It ran as a second section to Rescue 1 for all Haz Mat calls and was part of TASK FORCE 1. Engine 1, Ladder 1 and Rescue 1 for Haz Mat and Water Rescues.

[Guest]

SS2 was bought to function as an Air and Light unit. It is a 1998 GMC Top Kick/KME. It runs from HQ.

[Guest]

Trenton is divided into 2 Battalions. There are 10 Battalion Chiefs with 2 on each shift. The Chiefs are numbered 1 thru 10 and used either C4 or C5 for transportation. C4 is the NORTH BATTALION and is a 1997 Chevy Tahoe. C5 is a 1998 Chevy Tahoe and responds in the SOUTH BATTALION... The catch is BOTH respond from the same station - Fire HQ! HQ is close to the center of the city making it easy for them to go to their response areas. I do not know of many or ANY other cities in NJ or the north east like this!

I remember when this rig was lime!

[Ladder 68]

The Trenton stuff is great. Did SS-2 and SS-1 every use the same rig? I ask because I have seen a photo showing were number was changed to a "1" and is different from the lettering. Sorry for the nitpicky question, just curious.



Also, how many companies is Trenton currently running and what are their staffing levels?



Thanks.
