Alex3610 - Thank you so much for sharing all the photos and information to those of us who follow Richmond Fire closely. Hopefully, you will have time for a few more questions.
1. I know the heavy rescues have been sold to Brindlee Mountain. What will be the fate of Engine 11 and all the quints being replaced? I would assume at least one will go to the FTA since only pumpers are there now. Any information will be appreciated. [indent=1]All 4 105' Quints and all 3 Rescues were traded in as part of the first transaction. This struck all of us as very strange when we only ordered 2 105's and 2 rescues in that same order. There has been talk that FTA will receive a quint of some sort. Which one and when is unknown, if it happens at all. No one has told us yet what will happen with the FRV at 11 currently. I would tend to think we would want to purge the FRV's from the system as they have very limited usefull purpose, but who knows. We reccomended that 11 be allowed to operate the new engine to all responses as sort of a trial period to assess the CAFS as well as prove that not everyone needs to be in a quint. Again nothing has come back on that. In theory, this engine could go in service with a 40k+ CAFS option and only get driven to EMS calls. I hope not, but it is certainly possible. Who knows.
2. Double checking. Non of the quints have foam. Correct?[/indent] [indent=1]Correct.
3. I was unaware that Engine 11 would be a CAFS rig. Can you supply the foam cell size? A, B, or both?
[/indent][indent=1]40 gallons of Class A foam.
4. Finally, how about the foam cell size for the PUC due in April? 30? A only?
[/indent][indent=1]40 gallons of Class A foam.
Many thanks for all - Jerry

I look forward to seeing the new rigs in print in your publication! I feel OK taking mediocre pictures with my point & shoot because I know you guys will follow behind me with the real thing.
