New Orleans, LA Fire Apparatus

[Guest]

[quote name='Ladder 68' post='242793' date='Aug 30 2008, 20:59 ']At one time NOFD operated 2 rescue type companies, though with different names; Rescue Co. and Flying Squad Co. Both had Pierce Lance rigs, RS a '01 model and FS the '95 pictured. They had huge staffing, like 7 or 8 persons with 2 Officers.



Anyone know if the Flying Squad got a new rig or have they been disbanded by chance?



Thanks in advance.[/quote]



The department still operates a Rescue Squad and a Flying Squad. Both units are staffed with about 7-8 personnel. I did not photograph the Flying Squad; however, I saw it driving around and it operates a newer Pierce. The Rescue Squad also operates a newer model Pierce.
