Forgot to mention about Salvo.....they have a new Pierce ladder truck on order.
From Salvo I went by Avon and Buxton with no new apparatus. Their current apparatus are on this thread.
The Hatteras Island Rescue Squad (pages 13 and 17 of this thread) has a new Rescue 3, a 2008 Ford F350/AlumLine.
Rescue 3's squad body is very similar to their Rescue 4. The difference is that Rescue 4 does not have dual rear wheels and its main purpose is to be able to drive on the sand for beach/ocean rescues. The new Rescue 4, on the other hand, has dual rear wheels and carries extrication equipment and some techincal rescue gear. It is not designed to go on the beach, but acts more as a smaller back up to the department's heavy squad (Freightliner/Hackney).
The Rescue Squad likes the AlumLine boxes and uses the top of the squad body as an observation platform.
