As of 0800 hours on 1-7-2014 The Total Quint Concept in Richmond, VA was abolished and the department returned to a traditional operation fire department. They will operate with 18 Engine Companies, 4 Truck Companies, 2 Heavy Rescue Companies and 4 Battalions. The Truck Companies are operating with the 2012 105 foot Quints and the Engine Companies still have some 75 foot Quints or an Engine.
Replacing all the older apparatus will take some time. They disbanded Engine 10, Engine 24 and Rescue 2.
