Leesburg's 2007 Seagrave Marauder II 100' tiller has changed its radio designation from Truck 601 to "Truck 620".
During the summer, Leesburg took delivery of a 2002 Pierce Dash 105' rearmount to be used as a reserve truck (posted previously). When not being used, it is kept at Leesburg's older downtown station, Fire Station 1.
Leesburg's main station is Fire Station 20. The Seagrave tiller is the primary truck, thus now Truck 620.
Interestingly, this is the first Leesburg apparatus to have the "20" identifier. All other apparatus at Fire Station 20 still have the "1" designation (i.e. Engine 601, Tanker 601, etc.). I was told there are no immediate plans to change this.
Truck 620 was photographed next to Fire Station 20 today.

WAS THERE ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THEY ONLY CHANGED THAT ONE AND NOT THE OTHERS?
