Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[Roto-Ray]

Immediately south of Station 9 is Station 2. Station 2 used to be a used fire truck mall, as they housed many reserve rigs here. Now, the station houses Engine Company 2, one reserve engine (1991 Mack CF/Grumman, ex Engine 11), and the Life Safety House for the youngun's.



Engine 2 is one of the four original Pierce Quantums that the county purchased in 1997. They were originally assigned to Engine 34, Engine 43 (reassigned to Engine 204), Engine 73 (reassigned to Engine 2), and Engine 143 (reassigned to Engine 9). Chesterfield changed their numbering scheme a couple of years ago, hence what appears to be strange numbers.



The individual stations do the lettering on the grills, so many of them have a very different look to them.



Engine 2 will be replaced with one of six 2008 Pierce Enforcers that will be delivered later this month, and the Quantum will enter the reserve fleet.



Hope you enjoyed, even if I'm still ticked off at my camera settings. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />
