Memphis Fire Dept

The three engines on the Pierce Flickr site are going to be assigned to Engines 10, 32, and 36. They were purchased with grant money as they protect the Port of Memphis. They have 500 gallon water tanks, 200 gallon foam tanks, and a dry powder system. Since they were purchased with grant money, they were required to be delivered in a certain timeframe. As a result, chassis's were used that were already in production. They are all being repainted to be solid red. 

Are these three engines part of the four engines in the capital plan or in addition to the four engines in the plan?


I'm guessing that this is the first time in a long time that Engine 32 has received a brand new rig - maybe the first time ever. I believe their current Pierce Lance was previously assigned to another company.


How are the four quints and eight medical squads working out?


Thanks in advance.
