There are currently units in the 20 and 30 designations. At one time Pittsburgh had units in the 40, 50, & 60 designations that were front line, but they haven't been around for years.



PFDEng1,



You don't have anymore Pittsburgh? or any extra slides for sale do you?[/quote]

I know what you mean now. That was reoganization that took place in the mid 80's. Everything was renumbered. The numbering in the 50,s was designated for the North Side. This was old Allegheny City. The Station on Troy Hill, 39, used to be old Allegheny City Station # 11. When the City of Pittsburgh annexed Allegheny, they renumbered everything in the North Side. Station 11 became Station 51. The first nuber was dropped and a "5" replaced it.

There was a reorganization that took place in 1992. This is when the tillers, and squads were eliminated. The last one took place 3 years ago when 39 and four other stations were closed.
