I've been looking at coming back to Memphis once I get my paramedic license but I want to talk to some of you guys down there about it first.
Couple of questions:
1. What is/was Hickory Withe Fire Department? Was this truck a MFD truck and if so where was it stationed? [color="#FF0000"]Already answered. Hickory Withe also has some 1980 Pirsch pumpers that originally purchased in Germantown. Sommerville is running with old Memphis Snorkel 16.[/color]
2. Could we get some pics of 54's equipment? I was born and raised in Cordova in Walnut Grove Lakes, which is not far from Sanga road and can remember when it was still SCFD in their Metal building with a double-wide for living quarters next door. Last I looked on Joe's site, 54's had an ALF Engine, Telesquirt 1, an ALF Tiller and a medic unit. Would love an update of what's out there now. [color="#FF0000"]Station 54 used to run The Squrt and E54 as a 2 piece company because they kinda use to sit out there by themselves. Companies from other stations were a pretty good ways out so they used E54 basically as a hose wagon as the Squrt could not hold enough 5" to make everyone feel comfortable. Additionally, we reverse lay supply lines and it still afforded them that oppurtunity. The city has annexed much of the area around the 54's and placed several new stations in service including Station 56 which houses E56, T25, EU25, & BC14; Station 58 which houses E58, T28, & EU3?; and Station 59 housing E59 and EU3?. Because of the closer companies, the ALF that ran as E54 has been taken out of service and E54 responds as a single piece company in the Squrt. The truck was moved to the 58's. I think BC12 is still there along with EU18.[/color]
Additionally, Would any of you guys be willing to send me one of the new Memphis Fire T-shirts with paramedic on the back? I saw them on Joe's site as well. If so, just pm me with price and shipping costs and I'll get with you on paypal. Are you still selling the Elvis T-Shirts?[color="#FF0000"]The paramedic shirts are only available on Joe's website. They are unofficial and not worn by any paramedics while on duty. The scramble on the front is a memphisfire.net design. I would just order it through his site. As he is the Local union VP, he can get the Elvis T as well.[/color][/quote]
