R1 still at St. 11 or have they moved?

[Ladder 68]

And what happened the relatively new Pierce Dash that Rescue 1 previously had? Didn't seem that old. Dedicated reserve now? 2nd piece?



Thanks in advance.

The Rescue does still run out of 11's, the photo here was taken in front of 16's. The old rescue is a 2000 Pierce Lance (I think) and is now the primary reserve rescue co, which was badly needed. It wasn't that unusual for the crew to have to run on a 30 year old mack. The HAMER also got a similar Velocity and their relatively new Enforcer is now a reserve. I've been told most of the $$$ for these rigs was from the Democratic National Convention.

Where did the cool Seagrave Rescue 1 go? It was classic, the Mack R was also great.



Stay Safe, Rick
