Chief thanks for the job number on 432. Your new PUC delivery should be right around the corner right? I have been looking forward to seeing it. The friends I stay with when I am in town live down in 430's first due so I get up past 413 all the time, I will make sure to stop in when I am back in October to shoot it. Don't look it up special but if you can send me the job number on your new ride when you think of it I would greatly appreciate it.

The PUC is 21883, fleet V-135 (070135). We expect it in the Commonwealth sometime around Labor Day - how long it spends at Singer and how long it spends at West Ox before it comes home who knows. The sooner the better, I doubt its in service by open house but I want to get it brought in for that weekend at least so the public can see it.

Actually, V7206 actually at one point if memory serves me right, this truck was Truck 21, then it was moved to become Truck 15 when Fire Station 38 was under construction, and finally moved again to become Truck 438 until the Pierce came in.

Is the new county rescue temporarily replacing R421?

What happened to Rescue 21? That rig is not very old. Any info fellas?



BBR - Last time I saw Rescue Company 21 they were rolling with the E\-One Rescue (County reserve) and the old Hazmat support vehicle (34) as a 2-piece Rescue Company. Apparently the E\-One couldn't adequately carry all of their equipment/tech rescue gear.



Peace

I also heard that Rescue 26 might be receiving the new Rescue and their current rig will possibly be filtered into the reserve fleet. Again, not fact. Simply what I heard.

I had heard that about 426 as well but with 421 going down....maby they'll get the new rescue? Yes it's not odd anymore to see old support 34 over at 21. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Hopefully someone from 21 can shed some light on this.

My Bad

7206 replaced out '86 E\-One Hurricane V-7194 which replaced our 1966 Seagrave KT V-579.

Around August '87 Trk-15 was transferred to Fair Oaks after the '63 Maxim was put to out to pasture (Trk-15) and replaced by V-579. The truck on warm sunny days would stay at Chan-hillbilly and and "sleep" at 21 at night until the offocial transfer came through. Ladder services at Fair Oaks were terminated when 15's new station was completed and was later moved to Centreville when 38 was built.

[quote name='Good2Go' post='314420' date='Jun 17 2009, 00:04 ']I assume Singer, since it's been in their parking lot for quite some time now, along with the other E-Ones I posted. Like I said, the single axle Truck was loaned out to Dale City while their Pierce Tower Ladder was getting serviced last year. Perhaps they keep 'em around as loaner rigs when a Pierce unit needs work. Hope that helps Steve.

Singer owns several trucks > engines, aerials, > that they have bought and used as spares when they have a front line in for repairs or as loaners

Rescue 421 is out for what could be along time. That is all I will say now. We are running with 418's old E\-One, #7538. The two piece "Rescue Task Force" using the old haz mat beer truck won't happen again because that unit is no longer in the county. No talk of a new rig to serve a R421.

Thanks brother. Sorry to hear about your rig. It's sad to see, as I for one thought Rescue 21 was a good rig considering the operational needs of that company. At least ex-Rescue 18 is the right size rig to temporarily fill the slot IMO.



Best of luck 21.

Thanks Nate. At this point I don't know the real problem(s) with R421. I won't post rumors. The Marion is a good rig and certianly big enough, however, fire apparatus, no matter how well maintained have problems.

You said you live in our first due. Are you a vol in Ffx?

I volunteer in Prince William County. I use to hang out at 21 when I was kid back in the early to mid 80's. Use to see the old American Lafrance at the old fashioned fireman's competition at FS 3 every year.



Good times.

Pics from E422B filling in at FS408 a month ago.

[Guest]

And FS425.

[Guest]

What was going on that 422 was filling in at 425? Thats a haul, ain't it?

[Guest]

There were MUD drills going on that day. The first rotation was in the fourth battalion and the second rotation was in the first battalion. While we were at FS408 T410 and M410 were filling in with us and then we filled in at FS425 with M425, T425 and R421. Hope this helps.
