Thanks for posting. Glad to see them keep a classic Seagrave. Neat idea to make it a Rescue Company, it looks great. I wanted to ask you mentioned earlier last year they were selling R-Engine 1. Did it not sell or were the bids low. Anyway great job. Is Truck 4 still at Fire House 4 I noticed a Quint 4 now. Is RRFD still running Two Truck Companies?



PS Tell the TRT guys to replace the Executor Siren with a REAL Federal Q Siren.



Stay Safe,

Truck 4 is now a spare housed at Station 4. Quint 4 is running from Station 4. Truck 4 is RRFD's only spare ladder and is a TL though.



I was incorrect, the sold the other older Seagrave reserve engine....they just did a complete inspection of this apparatus to make sure it was structurally and mechanically sound before deciding to keep it, amongst some other factors. The TRT team members convinced the brass that they'd be able to convert it at a low cost and this apparatus was perfect for the conversion..



As far as the siren goes, lol, I'm sure if they can get there hands on one used for free they'll take it, but until then they continue to toil away making other improvements to this apparatus, some I will detail in a photo spread later this weekend. Stay tuned.
