Didn't Engine 7 already have their engine refurbed? Will that engine be going somewhere else in the fleet? or become a spare?
Thank You in advance. ff556

Yes, their 1999 E\-One (former E41) was completely refurbished within the past year or so. I'd guess that that piece will go to a slower company (E56 or E20 maybe) while the newer pieces E52 (2001 E\-One Cyclone II) & E53 (2002 Pierce Enforcer) will be refurbed & reassigned. Engine 48 has the oldest frontline piece in service, a 1994 E\-One Protector so my guess would be they would get one & probably Engine 30 (1996 E\-One Cyclone II) would get the other. Engine 49's issue is with the height of their overhead doors. They HAVE to be assigned a flat roof piece & even then the deck gun needs to be removed in order to fit it in.
