Either ex Truck 2 or 14, as Truck 1's was destroyed in a mva which resulted in a horrific LODD as the TD was burned to death by the rupture of the Pirsch gas tank under the driver's seat. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Not that I know of. The new Foam 2 has been a royal pain this year. I still don't think it is officially in service. It is now at E13/T10's quarters though.

Thanks for the info on the Pierce/Grove. Didn't realize it was deadlined. Saw it at the academy less than 2 months ago. I know that both ALF/LTI's are on that list. Also, the new Medic 1 that you posted. Is it completely new or a remount like 11, and 15? Any idea what the other assignments are? I see another unit in front of it.
Question regarding old Truck 1- Was the telephone booth -style rear cab area on both sides of the rig or only drivers side ? what was manning like on that rig [ every seat taken ]? Lastly, does anyone have pics of what that interior looked like in that back cab area ?
Sorry, for whatever reason it wouldnt allow me to continue writing the post. Reason why im asking is that I'd like to build this rig in 1/87th scale so I'm looking for different angles as far as pics go.

The DCFD currently staffs it's truck companies with 5 people. In the early 90's we had the staffing on our trucks reduced from 5 to 4. The staffing returned to 5 people in the early 00's. Many years ago the DCFD had 6 person truck companies, though I don't know when it got changed to 5.
