That's correct Trey.  T523 was officially staffed 1/27/14 as the first 24/7 staffed Ladder truck in the County.  The staffing came from Tower 512, which is no longer staffed by the career side.  T523 is operating the former Quint 4 (which later became T504), plans are for a new unit in the 2015-2017 range.  

 

T503 will become the Reserve specialty piece for the West end of the County (primarily as a fill-in for T511 and TW525) as needed. Dumfries will be speccing (or already have specced) a new Rescue to replace T503.  Anybody confused yet?

 

Attached is an older picture of T504, now T523.

If anyone can provide a logical justification for Dumfries Fire to purchase a Rescue when they were rarely able to to staff their ladder truck then I'm all ears. Not to mention Rescue 510 is just up the road. Not being a smart-ass here. I'm truly all ears and open minded.
