According to 2011 Run Totals, Grass Firefighter 1 had 0 calls last year. I know they've had 1 this year though.

Thats what it looks like to me.

I was told that it gets used more to pull a boat than brush/grass fires, I have all the angles of the Snozzle trucks also, As a side note I was up visiting and met a friend in the PFD Apparatus Division and was on the property with PERMISSION, I DO NOT advocate driving through the "shop" if your in the area. Its posted no trespassing....just my 2 cents for what its worth, also to BMott and his son great job documenting all the new deliveries, I saw 10,53 and 27 when I was up there oh and a new E7

drove in the back of the shop after getting fuel,,,it looks like a Seagrave graveyard

Why is there an engine 238, when there is no station 38?

There is and Engine 38. It's just not active at the moment. It's "browned-out" (Closed), but it still exists. The station is scheduled to be opened around October this year. I've seen a picture and it seems to be making progress.



Engine 238 is just being stored where there is room right now. It was at the shops before Foam 33 got it and from what I heard on the scanner, it is currently being stored at Squad 72.

New Station 38 has three equally deep bay's should be interesting to see what goes there.

A few weeks ago I was hanging out at Currans, which is located directly across the street from 38's old house...........Sucks to see that big empty lot where a firehouse used to be!
