History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[GA_Dave]

Tomorrow morning (6-16-07) at 10, the City of Atlanta will auction off several surplus vehicles including the former apparatus of Yellow 1 and Yellow 10, both are Colet Jaguars. Also, one of the 1990 Spartan/Quality pumpers is on the block.

It was reported to me that Yellow 10 went for $9,000 and Yellow 1 went for $17,000.

Yellow 16, a 1991 Spartan/Ladder Towers, Inc. 110' TDA, is now known as Ladder 41.

This 1999 Spartan/Ladder Towers, Inc. 100' TDA was delivered as Yellow 18, but is now known as Ladder 43.

I was at the airport today, updating my records, and found that I was told wrong, these two are reverse of what they should be. Ladder 41 is the 100' TDA and it runs from Station 40. Ladder 43 is the 110' TDA and runs from Station 24. While there, I also managed to get shots of Foam Tanker 45 and Stair Truck 48. Pics will be posted once I get them developed. Also, Squad 24 is now Squad 42 and the former Y-17 is now MCU47. In addition, I think I have the pumpers all sorted out and will be posting the ones I've shot shortly. Finally, Yellow 13, the E\-One Titan, is still in reserve. As for the Jaguars, one of the K/R-40's is sitting in the shop, unknown status. The former Yellow 10 and Yellow 11(the 1994) K-15's are gone. The three remaining K-15's (Y-9 Y-12, and Y0!) are in reserve. All ten of the Strikers are in service. The two with Snozzles are ARFF 1 and ARFF 10.
