The Sterling Volunteer Fire and Volunteer Rescue, in conjunction with Loudoun County, opened the Kincora Safety Center on November 9, 2013. Just like Sterling's other two stations (11/15 and 18/25) where the fire and rescue are independent however operate out of the same facilities, the new Kincora Station will house fire units (designation of "24") and rescue squad units (designation of "35").
As was mentioned, Engine 624 moved from Station 18 fire to become the "new" Engine 624. It is a 2004 Pierce Lance 1500/1250 with job number 14671. While at FS 18 this Pierce ran as Engine 18 and Tanker 618.
As a side note, Sterling Fire has two new 2014 Spartan Gladiator/Smeal 1500/750/20 due to be delivered late summer of this year. I suspect there will be a variety of changes to Sterling engine assignments once the two new Smeal's are placed into service.
