The medic units are assigned per station. Ex, 1 1-1 2 2-1 3 3-1 4 4-1 and 5. However the placards can be switched around so the units are interchangeable. They all have a shop number tho, for example 7501 (i think thats the set up) to 7509. Then the EMS shift supervisor has a 08? or 09 chevy suburban. and theres a secondary one for the summer when it gets busy.



The paramedic engines are usualy 4 and 16, they are interchanged. When 16 would blow up they would bring 4 in and run it as staffed engine. There had been talks about moving a truck and engine to the north to meet staffing needs when traffic is horrific. But any truck can be at any station at any time, to easily sum it up.

[Guest]

What happened to Engine 9, Shoop?

[Guest]

What is Engine 9? If that was the Seagrave, it was sold. The Spartan/Boardman is also gone.

[Fire28]

E9 is the Ford Mini Pumper

E12 was the Spartan that burned up.



OC from what I was told is looking into 2 New Engine's, a Truck, and a Tanker To replace E12 &??, TW5, TA20. The Snorkel will be run till death as will the Mack Rescue.

A quick correction: it was a 1991 Spartan/Alexis engine that was 4-sale. Has the 89 IH/Alexis tanker been sold yet?

AFAIK these were the only Alexis rigs in Maryland...

[Guest]

Engine 12 did not burn up. It was sold. I've seen it in numerous adds, just can't remember the dealer selling it.



res18cue, Thanks for the info. I wasn't informed that the two engines were ordered. I was told a Tower to replace the Snorkel, and a Tanker.

I was not aware that Ocean City had ordered two additional engines from KME. I work for the local Rosenbauer dealer and we were just down there last week for aerial demos. I know a lot of folks down that way and nobody has said anything about it, just that they're buying a new aerial next year.
