Finally found the specs on the new tunnel rescue.  2015 Freightliner/Pierce #27061-1 1250/1000/Husky 3 Foam system.  I am clear to assume that they have ordered more than one if the job number has the -1?  Would be nice if they would put one at the south tunnel and those around Virginia Beach.

The tunnels are now protected  by TOM, LLC. They provide 24/7 contract fire service at the East River tunnel and the Big Walker tunnel. They purchased two engines. Both are similar but not twins. Both I believe were demos and customized somewhat.

If any one passes through this area and have time I would love to see any photos of these rigs .

While on my way to Norton, I came across Castlewood, Virginia in Russell County. Driving by, I noticed the bay doors were up so I had to stop. I had the opportunity to meet with a great group of folks who took the time to move everything out and even take me to their small substation.


The fire department and rescue squad in Castlewood combined, and the majority of the apparatus run out of one station. The old rescue station houses several apparatus and a small boat.


Here is what is at the main station...

It was......A 2007 model that had numerous issues . Something happened and the truck was sold . Pierce built another Arrow XT PUC to replace it but the County decided to give it to Stafford Company 2 .

[stokess]

Thanks!   Singer brought one of them to Dunn Loring to demo when we were looking at buying our 2009.  I don't know I'd buy another PUC just because there isn't a real big advantage to them in our application but ours hasn't been a bad rig.

[tk1sq]

Believe it was one that due to whatever reason the City decided not to accept after some use. Not sure of particulars.

Our dept. rejected it because of several issues and Pierce built another truck which will enter service sometime this fall .

How many E\-One ladder are still in service in Norfolk?
