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.

That resolution has actually not passed entirely. For the last 10 weeks our IAFF Local has at least stalled the implemantation of the ARV's citing incurred safety concerns that will not be worth the limited savings.



The rest of the resolution was approved. One quint is replacing the E54, the Squrt and the other is being proposed in seperate annexation reserve area. If they try to put either one in a sation by themselves, they may want to be ready for us again.
