The old R426 is now R414, the volunteer corporation will not be replacing the slime lime rescue and I'm assuming it will be sold. Its a 98 or 99 chassis and the box was the one that burned in the 97 fire. This is both a cost issue and a lack of flexibility issue for the County in having speciality rigs (Rescues and Trucks) being volunteer owned. If they find that R414 would be better placed at 27 the County can't just take a volunteer owned rig and move it. Can they cut a deal? Sure. But it takes more time. I would not expect R1, T/L 5 or T22 to be replaced by the volunteers either but stranger things have happened and on the flip side, from the County perspective - if someone wants to buy them a $1M rig, who are they to say no.

I see that 414 has been running a red heavy rescue lately that looks like the twin to or the old Rescue 426. Whats the deal with their current heavy rescue (yellow) and is this their new one or are they waiting on a new rescue to be delivered. Also for those who know the department or work in it why does Rescue 426 have regular doors and not roll-up doors like most of the other rescue companies....
