We currently are running 4 engines (1,2,4,and 5), 1 truck (Ladder 1) and the deputy chief. We have increased our manning, so we are able to keep 4 engines and 1 ladder in service 95% of the time. We are due new hires come May (Contractual), so we should be able to start staffing our 2nd truck company (Ladder 2) and a consistent basis. Engine 3 (KME) is still here, A 2nd spare (Engines 3 and 6), but for how much longer I don't know. She's old and tired, but served us EXTREMELY well!!!! Hope this answers you questions. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Ray, good to hear the staffing situation is looking up for you guys across the bridge...I can't even remember the last time a 2nd ladder was staffed. This Dad thing is a fulltime job for me, so I haven't been following things like I used to be able too.
