[quote name='ccrs270' post='214310' date='May 16 2008, 16:51 ']I heard a rumor that the LFD Arrow XT was an LAFD demo and was bought in a pinch after Engine 6 and Engine 4 were wrecked while on a call. I think Engine 6 rear-ended Engine 4 and then the fire shops placed the chassis (both KME's)from one truck together with the body from the other. they turned it into another reserve engine.[/quote]
CCRS, that's partially correct. While the Arrow XT purchased (which is the only Arrow XT in the Lynchburg fleet) was a demo, it wasn't specifically built for LAFD (wrong shade of red for one thing). It was simply a stock demo. It is true about the two wrecked engines being mated together after they struck one another responding to an incident.
