Ok, let me explain...
Years ago BSFR Station-51 operated an Engine and Rescue, Pompano Beach Fire Rescue came in and annexed that area, plans were to re-open Station-51 at a different location as the "Regional Services Station" staffing TL51, however it never happened. When Cooper City merged with BSFR they decided to move TL51 into Station-81 in Weston as TL81 (2005 Dash). What was Q81 (2000 Quantum) moved to Station-28 in Cooper City now running as Q28... when the City of Weston took delivery of TL81 (2008 Quantum) BSFR TL51 became a reserve.
Funny thing is... TL81 ran with the number 51 decal on the truck for years, all this could have been prevented by simply having them changed the number.[/quote]
No problem (re name) and thanks a lot for the clear-up. I've realized that Broward County is probably the most complex and fascinating municipality in terms of history and policy, even though that means a lot of confusion when it comes to numbering and station changes.
With regard to Q28 and TL51, I don't see why they wouldn't run the newer truck as front-line and replace the 2000 with the 2005. Maybe I'm oversimplifying the situation though.
Thanks again!
