The only senior aerial left is Truck 6, the Ford/Pirsch senior aerial. Truck 21 was replaced in 2010 as shown above. Truck 6 is currently in a reserve, from what I heard, the engine "blew up" in it. From what i understand though, it is being repaired and will return to service. As of now, the entire reserve fleet is senior aerials with the exception of two E\-One 100'RM trucks...so for now, if you come here you'll still see some senior aerials in use.



As for the quints, I heard one will replace Engine 54's Pierce telesquirt. I'm not sure about the other one...

Does Memphis still have any of the Ford/Pirsch tillers still in front-line service? If my memory is correct, T6 and T21 were the last two front-line tillers in service. I was in Memphis a couple of weeks ago and drove by the shops. The T6 tiller was sitting in the lot and appeared to be stripped of equipment.



I also saw that the city council (see page 15 of attached link) approved capital funding for the purcahse of eight alternative response vehicles, one brush truck, seven ambulances, two pumpers and two quints. Will the quints be replacements for two of the three E\-One tower ladders or is the city planning to integrate quints into their operations.



Thanks in advance.
