History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[GA_Dave]

This 1990 Spartan/Quality 1500/500 first ran as Yellow 6 (Station 35), but was replaced there in 1991. It was then redesignated Yellow 15 and assigned to Station 24 until 1997. It was renamed Yellow 8 and moved to Station 40. Today, it was running as Engine 35 while the real E-35 was in the shop. Since there are currently no reserve pumpers, Engine 40 fills in as one when needed and Station 40 just doesn't have an engine that day.



There was another 1991 Spartan/Quality 1500/500 that was assigned to Yellow 5 from 1991-1999. It was slightly different from this one in that it had a small grille over each front wheelwell, like those on the Readi-Tower Y-6. It has also been disposed of.
