If you loom on the front right corner, just above or below the vehicle ID number is a code. ST=Spare Truck, SR=Spare Rescue & SP=Spare Pumper. I believe this piece has ST21 on the front corner.[/quote]



saw them yesterday, looked like Ladder 7"s old piece

That may be what they're using now, but Ladder 7's old piece was an enclosed cab. Ladder 15 & Ladder 26 have been using spares for a few months now.

Went to Engine 33. No front suction and short wheelbase make for a a very maneuverable piece.

Nice job Ed, thanks for posting......

[Ladder 68]

Thanks for the information....I had no idea. Sure makes District 12 a little heavy from an administrative standpoint.

Take two companies away from District 12, E52/L29 are now in District 8.

That makes District 8 E16 E18 E20 E52 Fire Brigade and L06 L29

District 12 still picked up 2 more companies than it previously had and two more firehouses, and a lot more actual land area compared to what they gave up.
