No. Engine8 was the first. Apparently it is a tradition in the StLFD for "The 8s" to receive the first new rig. Engine2 should have been in service before us, dont know the full details why they arent in their new rig. The 24s, 31s, and 32s are in town too.

Its definately different! I just saw the 28s on Saturday at one of our PR Events, the only thing I think it had on it were the rescue tools.



Can you grab a shot of E28/HL 5 inquarters?

In fear of violating a HIPAA violation, I can not disclose the location/nature of our 1st run in the new rig. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' /> However, I will tell you it was niether 711, nor Club Elite. Actually, I dont remember ever getting a run at Club Elite.

E 1, 31 and 32 are in. The new concept worked great today.... 2 engines (you could make it 3 if you count the reserve quint with no aerial capabilites in front of a 2.5 story house with smoke from the top portion of the house. No room for the H&L. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Banghead' />
