Sterling, Virginia is in Loudoun County. The Sterling Volunteer Fire Department runs from Station's 11 (Sterling) and 18 (Cascades). The Sterling Rescue Squad also has two stations - 15 and 25. Station 15 shares quarters with Fire Station 11 in Sterling and Rescue Station 25 shares quarters with Fire Station 18. The fire department and rescue squad are seperate organizations.
Both departments have recently received new apparatus.
Let's start on the fire department side.
Tower 11 is currently being prepared for service and will run with this 2006 Seagrave TPOAKK. It has a 104' bucket and carries serial number 87R01.
It has a four section steel ladder and carries quite a number of ladders - 40', 35', two 28', two 20', 14', and a Little Giant. A new color difference with Tower 11 compared to other Sterling fire units is that the roof is painted red.
The new Tower 11 replaces a 1991 Simon-Duplex/LTI 100' tower that was sold last year to the Harrisonburg, Virginia FD where I am told it has received a new paint job and is looking good.
