My understanding is that the first batch of three went to 1, 4, and 10. I work in downtown Tacoma so I see 1 and 4 running around in their rigs all the time, as both companies run the wheels off of their engines. I believe all of the 1996 rigs they replaced had over 175,000 miles on them. At least one had over 200,000 miles.



Then the second batch of 2 went to 8 and 15. 3 will get the transport engine. 6 got a Roadrunner, Rosenbauer's version of the telesqurt. 2 more Roadrunners are on order, which will likely go to 11 and 13 (which currently operate late 90's telesqurt-type engines). I also remember reading on H&W's Facebook page that Tacoma had placed an order for a Spartan ERV engine. Not sure what the status of that is with the city's current major budget problems.

Great info! Thanks for that. A couple of questions: Tacoma Battalion Chiefs run out of Stations 2, 8 and 9? And the Nova Quintech booms on the late 90's E's 11 and 13 are 55 footers? Thanks!
