The five new Pierce Dash engine's are currently at the apparatus shops in Fairfax County being prepared for service.
The guys at the "North" shop by the Training Academy over the years have been fantastic in helping me get photographs of the new deliveries. It has worked out quite well for me since I have been working right down the street from the shops and training center. Well, that is coming to an end since I am transitioning to another job within my company and will no longer be at the office close to the shops and training center (does not mean I will not make it back). Today was my last day at the office, and once again the guys were great.
Fairfax County has 5 of these new ones. They will be delivered to:
Engine 425 Reston
Engine 426 Edsall Road
Engine 436 Frying Pan
Engine 441 Crosspointe (new station ready to open)
In addition, a first in Fairfax County is a new delivery for the training academy. I am sure that could generate some debate (not putting a new engine in the field), but I support the idea in providing training for new and existing firefighters on the type of apparatus actually in the field instead of an old hand me down.
Engine 407 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 1250/750/40. For those who track county numbers, this one carries 7558. The Pierce job number is 17764-04.
