Whats with the Rescue Squad 4 with E31? Closed company, old markings?

Yes, Rescue Squad 4 was with E31. They were closed when E3.T1 were closed. And have never been put back in service. They have been placed back if an event or a major incident come up,but other than that Nada!! The Rube had said that he wanted to place both T1 & RS4 back in service but you know that story!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Any recent pictures/updates on the renovation of the E-10/T-13 Firehouse? It seems to have taken a very long time.



Thanks

Nice job Roy, the city is talking about renovating my firehouse in the near future however the historic commission will not allow the door's to be widened so I'm not sure what will happen if that decision stands..........

Eric from what I was told our Historical Society would only allow the bays to be widened if the construction company took out the old brick and replaced the same brick back in a widened fashion. I tend to side with the Historical Society's when it comes to renovating firehouses because if it wasn't for them I think there would be a lot of single story, plain, no character having firehouses in the country. The city would do what ever was cheap and that would mean tearing down the firehouse and rebuilding some terrible mess in its place.
