Hilton Head Island per request

[Pete Muller]

A couple of years ago Swampscott, Massachusetts bought one of the new engines from Hilton Head.

They placed a couple of the 10 Engines they ordered up for sale.  The plan was to have separate engine and ladder companies, but budget problems got in the way so they ordered two Quints, one for Station 1 Forest Beach and one for Station 5 Hilton Head Plantation. They now have only one Truck Company 6 and two quints to go with 5 Engine Companies and a couple of the new engines as reserves.  One of the new engines, Engine 8 is staffed as needed for coverage when units are at training or they have a special event to cover.
