TEXAS RIGS

[FireMedic049]

I shot photos in McKinney back in 2010-11.


At that time, Station 1 was a two company house.


Since that time, there is no engine at Station 1, and they run a quint out of there.


This appears to be one reason for the conversion. I do not know of any others.


Hope this helps.

Thanks.  I kind of assumed something like that created the need, but since it's now labeled "5" I assume that it changed stations?

 

I was more curious as to the conversion of an 8 year old ladder (by the dates given) rather than purchasing a new quint and moving this unit to another station where a quint wasn't necessary, into reserve status or selling it to offset the cost of a new unit. 

 

I would imagine that the conversion wasn't exactly "cheap", but I guess they thought it was the more cost effective route.
