Here is some updated information on the new Seagrave tiller plus other news
New Seagrave tiller
Should arrive in Leesburg in about 2 weeks. In service date expected sometime in December.
The Seagrave will have a Roto-Ray. One was on there and was removed because it needs to be re-positioned.
An insignia will be placed on the rear of the tiller celebrating 145 years of service to the community.
The FD is working out with the county how the Seagrave will be dispatched on entrapment calls. It carries extrication equipment. Leesburg's E\-One Rescue Engine was sold.
Leesburg has been contacted by at least four other FD's for their specs on the new tiller.
Other Leesburg Ladder trucks
The 110' E\-One ladder has had major motor problems and has been at ITE in Hagerstown, MD to get these problems resolved. It should be back in the very near future and will be placed back into service as Truck 1.
The Seagrave Concorde rearmount aerial that is a Seagrave loaner (ex- Baltimore City) will be returned to Seagrave once the E\-One is back.
Reserve Truck 1, the Seagrave tiller used for training by Leesburg - dispostition unknown at this time. Decisions have not yet been made on what will happen to this truck once the new Seagrave tiller is in service. Reserve Truck 1 previously served Richmond, VA and Washington D.C.
Other Leesburg apparatus news
The two new Seagrave engines should leave Seagrave in about 2 weeks. They are also black over red and look great.
Once these go into service, the FD will sell their older Pierce.
