Sorry for getting off topic, but I will answer Kyle's question on here in case anyone else wanted to know. Poor Boy suppers are kind of a southern thing consisting of soup beans (pinto beans with ham or streaked meat/fatback for flavoring cooked in a crock pot), cornbread, and fried potatoes. It is called a poor boy supper because this was what many people ate during the great depression in the south, particularly in the Appalachian Mtn region.
Back to the apparatus question, Andrew will have to answer for sure about Asheville's "new" rescue, but it was rumored the engine blew after being in-service for 2 weeks and it had to go out for repairs. Don't know if there is any truth to that, but it would be a good explanation because Asheville is not that big and it is nowhere to be found at the shops or at one of their 12 stations.
