For a Velocity it actually looks good. Who is getting L18's old '01 Pierce Dash 105' quint?



Thanks for the photos.

I believe it's going to Ladder 15.

I'm hoping I get lucky tomorrow and get some good shot of Quint 18 & Quint 36 at Siddons.

You answered this already but...



Quint Co.'s are staffed with 6

Ladder Co.'s are staffed with 4



Can this change from month to month or year to year?



Thanks.

Quints are no longer staffed with 6 there now staffed with 4. I also believe that the rescue's all also staffed with 4?



Engines = 4



Quints = 4



Ladders = 4



Rescues = 4?

If all goes well, Quint 18 should be delivered sometime next week. Quint 36 is at the dealer, but no ETA for delivery at this time.

Thanks for the heads up on Quint 18. I'm plaining on going to Siddons next week then to get some shots of Quint 18. I'll try to keep everyone posted on when the new rigs go into service.
