I wanted to post a few bits before I head back to MN. I will post pictures of new Truck 429 this weekend after I get back.
The Pierce job number on the new Truck 429 is 21398, 2009 Velocity, 105' Rearmount Aerial. The County # is 7079.
The current Truck 429, 03 Pierce Dash 105' Rearmount Aerial Job number 15093-02, County # 7041 will go to the reserve pool. That will mean that there will be 3 Dash Rearmount Aerials in the reserve pool.
The shop (thanks to everyone out there for all their assistance, they are a dedicated, fantastic group of individuals) is taking time to work with each company as they put new rigs into service to mount the equipment the way it should be mounted the first time and try to avoid issues down the road. When I was there to shoot Truck 429, the guys from Truck 429 were there working with the shop on where things should be mounted.
A Hazmat Support Unit is to come as well as another Rescue Squad in the near future. There are at least 7 E-Ones still in County front line service so another order for pumpers at some point in the future is a good possibility.
