I like the old Hillsborough scheme much better. Contrary to belief recently, Black isn't always better! What's stored in the compartment in the back of the cab of the tanker?

I believe it's the Engineer's gear. didn't open the compartment's my apologies, The Engineer did say that if the station this truck is assigned to had a frontline engine go down they would use the Tender but only the Station it's housed at.

After the few rigs in Greenville County I headed back home and stopped off at Anderson County Fire Department, Wren Volunteer Fire Department Station 24. They are due to recieve a new IHC/Eone this coming month that is part of a 5 rig order. The newest rig in their fleet is Engine 24-1

[AFD Prescott]

Rescue 24, was purchased about 2 years ago from Everett Fire Company in Pennsylvania where it ran as Rescue 32-42

[Juice]

There's something about "new" and "it was out of service" that just doesn't seem right

 

[AFD Prescott]

Sounds worse than it was they took delivery with a few paint blemishes and discrepancies (ie: Fisheyes, dings) KME and Safe industries agreed with SGFD taking delivery and fixing after it was in service and a reserve could be placed at the newly opened Station 8
