so is the new hazmat 440 replacing the Spartan presently in service? That rig isn't very old and I can't imagine it is in need of replacement. Or is it going to be in addition to the present units? just wondering.

It is not replacing the Hazmat rig but the Hazmat support rig. The current Hazmat Support rig will then be used as a reserve.
I flew in last night for a party today. Saw Engine 413 today, she is nice. Would have loved to see the whole unit with rollup doors though. Didn't have a chance to stop and get pictures as I was on my way to Tysons to pick up the cake and was late.
