Hawaii Trip 2013

[rlukas1]

Just returned from a vacation to Kauai and Oahu.  I have a few shots to and some news to share.  First from the Honolulu Fire Department:  More KME's are about to arrive from the mainland, at least two more tillered aerials and a an unknown amount engines.  Also a new Rosenbauer engine was slated to go into service next week at station 15. The first Rosenbauer engine ordered previously had to be returned to the mainland because it was declared "unfit for service". The six 2012 Pierce Arrow XT engines have all been placed in service after an apparent warrantee misunderstanding, all now have been warranted with a starting date of 01-01-2014.  I didn't realize it but they are equipped with fold-out-drop-down steps similar to the Quantum's.
