Loving it!

Does anyone have any updated photos of FS412 construction? Current state of FS410 and the Temporary quarters and vehicle parking for FS410 units?



Thanks in advance

Nothing has changed significantly on FS10's relocation and / or rebuilding. Truck 410 still spends the night at FS28.

I do hope something happens at 410 in the near future.........

I'm not positive this is the correct place, but I'm looking for information on the two new Pierce ladders that were delivered to Fort Belvoir; model, seating, height, gpm, water, and more. Anyone with photos? Nate?

I was told that both units will be 2000 GPM Pump, with 300 Water, but that was numerous months ago. I haven't made it back on the facility to confirm. Ft. Belvoir also has a 2011 Pierce Arrow XT Squad due in the next couple months.

[Guest]

Shoop is correct. Both rigs are in Roanoke for the repainting of the aerials, The Arrow XT due in next month is a replacement for E-463 (the Velocity) that will go in reserve. There is a possibility that we are going to get the 95ft tower from Fort Momouth NJ. The Heavy Haz-Mat Rig will be in Oct. I will keep you posted.

treywhite,



I don't think much customization will be done to the Annandale engine. The guys said that it is only temporary. They will be receiving a new Velocity from the next batch that was ordered.

[lawrencewhite111]

Ok Thanks

[Guest]

Any more photos from the Warren Jenkins collection? I like to see the older trucks...

My first rides on the job here. The ALF was one of the loudest fire trucks I ever drove.
