There are no Macks at the fire academy anymore. I stopped a few years ago for pictures. They had the ALF engine, and Pirsch snorkel X-Avalon at the time. Unfortunately I couldn't find anybody to get pictures of the snorkel. They replaced it a year or two after that with a Pierce quint.[/quote]

City of pittsburgh has 29 operational fire stations, starting at 3 and going to 38. With of course skipping a good ammount due to the citys great idea of cutting houses. 4 multi alarm fires going at the same time will drain all the citys fire resources. Most "well off" or working fires will give a 3 to 5 alarm fire, as each alarm adds 2 additional trucks or engines to the assignment. And this year they DID pull an outside company in as an air truck. Which is a rarity
