You are right. The new Smeal Engines are still called Pumpers on the radio. And when a new pumper/engine/non-aerialed apparatus is OOS, someone has to remember to say truck 24 or truck 31 on the radio.

Technically...what we are supposed to say is for example..if the 28s are on reserve 29 we are to say...
"Engine28 responding on Reserve Truck29"
because per new SOPs Trucks and H&Ls are to do truck work and engines/pumpers do engine ops.
It will make more sense when the next wave of new pumpers come in and a StillAlarm will consist of 2engines, 1truck, 1H&L
We are going thru a transition phase from total quint to traditional engine/truck ops. SOPs still give command officers to adjust duties by order due and/or type of apparatus responding on. so far no major issues
