There are only 6 Frontline E-Ones Engines left which are: Engine 409, Engine 415, Engine 427, Engine Engine 435, Engine 438, and Engine 439, so this last batch will replace the last of the E-Ones. Is it possible if I did hear right that we could be getting a new training engine (again)? He said that this bunch would be in in about 7-8 months at least. So look for them down the road.



Also, he did say that the new Rescue will be Replacing Rescue 414, but will not be at FS14. It will either go to FS27 or FS35. He said that the Volunteers have said they do not have any intrest of ordering a new Rescue. He said that they were leaning toward putting the new Rescue at FS35 because there is more room in the bay, plus it has the best access out via the Parkway. Evidently he said that the Burke Volunteers are pretty unhappy having the Red TROT Trailer there and they want it gone ASAP.



He did confirm that the New HAZMAT Support is on the way, as well.[/quote]





Engine 438,



Thanks for the update and rundown on who is still running E-ones, I thought the number was down to 6 but I wasn't 100%.
