1974 ALF/1983 Doerr Bro's. Originally assigned to truck 5, and later to truck 1.
Ladder68,
The hazmat kept at EMS Station 1 is in the City of Pittsburgh colors of White with black & gold stripes. There are actually three different color rigs in the city. All units fire department related are red/white, all units ems related are orange/white, all terrorism or specialty rigs for the city are painted white with black & gold stripes.
The Hazmat is operated by EMS. It is cross staffed by Rescue 1's crew, as far as a I know. The day I took photos the driver of Rescue 1 pulled it out. The Decon Units & Foam Unit in the City are operated by the Fire crews, and are cross staffed. There is also a Pierce/LDV Command unit that is available for use by fire/ems/pd.
There are actually two station 34's. I'm not sure why they split the two units up. Truck 34's house was built rather recently, and is one of the few stations in the city that has a nice ramp for pictures.
Mike,
I'm not to sure where the Scuba unit is being kept at these days. I'm not even sure where the MCU is kept at. I have been to both EMS houses recently, and neither were at them. There are multiple units kept at the City shops, and even a small rescue that is kept at Heinz Field, so your guess is as good as mine. lol
Hope this answered some questions.[/quote]
Prior to the PBF re-organizing in 1992, the fire station that Truck 34 is currently housed in was to be a new fire station for Engine 35 and Truck 35. When the re-organization took place and Engine 36 and Truck 35 were closed, there was pressure placed on the City by the residents to leave Engine 35 where it was. The building remained vacant for a couple of years until Pgh EMS placed Medic 10 there. Truck 34 was moved to this location a couple of years ago to provide better aerial coverage to the Manchester, Brighton Heights, Marshall and Shadeland areas where there used to be 2 trucks located.
MCU-1 is housed at Pittsburgh EMS HQ in Shadyside. The SCUBA Unit (Rescue 4) is housed with Rescue 2 and Medic 14 in Downtown (Blvd of the Allies). Another unit that Pgh EMS has is Rescue 5 which is a Collapse Rescue Unit. It's housed with Medic 3 in the West End.
