Nate, I have been told that they used the specs for Alexandria Rescue Engine 206 as a starting point. You are correct, this is one nicely spec'd rescue engine. One of the nicest I have seen. It is slightly better laid out than RE206.

Dave,
Your are correct RE206 was the base that Dale City used for E510. They looked at all of the Rescue Engines in the area (MWAA,Kentland,Ashburn,and Roundhill) to come up with this units design. Remember this unit serves as the "Reserve Rescue" hence the set-up. On another note Engines 513 and 520 were based on Alex's Engines 207 and 204 hence the ladder rack on the driver's side which this design took off after the Dale City units arrived. Look at FXCO, Warrenton, and MWAA's recent pumpers. I understand the future pumpers for Alex will be a more "traditional design"
