We had RE 324 from Dulles for a couple of days and now we are running Arlington Engine 115 (105's reserve). We haven't heard anything official about the new units, we thought is was going to be Pierce, but that may or may not change...once I hear something I will pass it on. What was spec'd was a Pierce Arrow XT 4 man cab with a combo body on it (half rescue style compartments and half normal engine co. compartments) and low hose bed and cross-lays.
Station 304 is under construction and from what I hear is is near RT. 606, it should be completed by winter, I think. Our new station at DCA is coming along and we should be in it by July or August.[/quote]
I was sorry to hear about 327. I was hoping to maybe get pictures of it when I was in town next week. The Engine guys at National deserve a break. Hope you end up with Arrow XT's they are nice rigs, those that I have seen. Would love to see how they turn out.
