E-21 is currently in the 1993 Ford, that once was assigned (Shop#71560).
The Minneapolis apparatus assignments are a fluid topic, so take these next paragraphs with a grain of salt. Hopefully Steve will check my math.
Q-15 was assigned Shop# 71801. As of last year, money was found to re-staff L-7. This may have changed, but L-7 was assigned 71801, and E-15 was assigned a unit out of the spare pool. I don't know if this is still staffed this way.
Q-21 was assigned Shop 71802 and became L-2, when money was found to re open E-21.
Q-11 was assigned Shop# 71803 and it most recently was occupied by L-5.
Q-20 was assigned Shop# 71804 and Station 20 & 2 switched units a couple years ago when another bridge across the Mississippi became un-useable. The department wanted a second aerial in NE Minneapolis, so the Quint moved to 2's
Q-27 was assigned Shop# 71805 and it may be assigned to Q-20, as I have a 2009 picture of E-27 in the pumper that previously was E-17 E-21, E-2 and E-20. For a while there were 2-Quints running out of Station 27.
Now, due to the loss of personnel, R-1 and R-9 were closed as staffed companies. When needed R-1 (Tech Rescue) and R-9 (Hazmat) will dump their respective houses and run as one unit. There was/is talk of reopening L-9, however I don't think there is an aerial to put them in. The department ordered 3 pumpers from Rosenbauer and the thought is that once they are assigned, there will be a couple Quints available to run as Ladder Companies. As of the first of the year L-5 moved back to Station 17, from 27, so the department would not run the wheels of of L-11 (2004 Dash 95' MM). There is/was also talk of refurbing the quints, to run as straight ladder companies. In their current configuration, there is not enough space for the normal truck equipment. The City has no monay for anything, so this may not happen.
That's all for now, as my head is spinning and I need a drink. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
