Interesting! I've seen Quints turned into dry trucks, but never the other way around. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious, what prompted the conversion?

I shot photos in McKinney back in 2010-11.

At that time, Station 1 was a two company house.

Since that time, there is no engine at Station 1, and they run a quint out of there.

This appears to be one reason for the conversion. I do not know of any others.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.  I kind of assumed something like that created the need, but since it's now labeled "5" I assume that it changed stations?

 

I was more curious as to the conversion of an 8 year old ladder (by the dates given) rather than purchasing a new quint and moving this unit to another station where a quint wasn't necessary, into reserve status or selling it to offset the cost of a new unit. 

 

I would imagine that the conversion wasn't exactly "cheap", but I guess they thought it was the more cost effective route.

I don't know about the cost, but there is a video on YouTube with the Assistant Chief explaining the referbish and the reason for moving the Truck to Station 5.
