[quote name='anesti' post='43433' date='Oct 13 2006, 18:28 ']nice old shots but i always wondered shouldnt this station be a tad bigger since at one time they had the tcu 712 ladder 31 engine 82 and engine 85 and a battalion cheif im not sure if it was the 27.was there another part to this station.[/quote]
Inside the building is mostly open and the TCU was about the same size as an engine. From what I was told the engines were "stacked" one behind the other and Ladder 31 and TCU were side by side and come out one bay. The Chief parked out front alot of the time. If they did park inside, it was usally later at night and the TCU was off duty and back at its NORMAL station.
Remember that the TCU worked 8 or 10 hours I think. The rigs were kept elsewhere and picked up at the start of their shifts. Then driven to the OPERATION area and then returned home.
They still will add an engine here sometimes if someones house is being worked on. IF this happends it is a company from near by and does not change responses too much.
Hope this helps.
