L191 is a 2003 and doesn't move much, so I guess it'll be around a while more.



Next up is a new Type 1x interface rig for Engine 199 (I'm thinking something like a 4 door Pierce Hawk or KME Timberwolf-type rig). They got 24/7 staffing this year thanks to a SAFER grant so they need a better rig. Also, they'll be putting one of the brush trucks (not sure which) on a new chassis (I'm hearing Dodge/Sterling, but the City is all Ford, so I'm not sure). They had two new brush trucks budgeted, but since E-199 needs a permanent rig, they're going this route to use the same $$.

Engine 199's rig has been ordered, and to correct what I wrote above, they're calling it a Type I-II-IIIx, since it is basically a Type IIIx with enough water, pump GPM and ladders to make it a Type Ix. So, it's sort of a hybrid.
