Moorefield Fire Station 23 currently has a 2009 Pierce Velocity engine on order that will be arriving in Loudoun County shortly.
Since the changes with Stations 22 and 23 and until the new engine is placed into service, engine company operations at FS 23 have been handled by Ashburn's Wagon 6, a 2001 Spartan Gladiator/2002 Smeal 1500/600.
The Loudoun County "Ready Reserve" engine will now run as Engine 623 until the new engine is placed into service. This Ready Reserve was initially assigned to the Training Center and had a unique "see thru" pump panel to be able to see all of the plumbing behind the panel. It was then moved to Neersville as Engine 16. When Engine 16 recently received a new Pierce engine, this Pierce became the Ready Reserve. Prior to that, it was sent to Singers in Manassas where the see thru pump panel was replaced with a more tradional one, work was done on compartments, and some additional lettering completed.
It is a 2002 Pierce Enforcer 1250/750 with job number 12990.
