Billy....looks like RRFD did some major re-arranging. Given all the development in 7's first due, it really needed a truck company. They really should have built more bays with Station 7.

 

I'm surprised that Engine 7 got the Quantum back......I would think the Crimson would just stay there. Unless it's going to be assigned to the new Station 8 when completed or the Quantum can carry more extrication and rescue equipment.

 

Is there any new apparatus on order or planned? And have they sold any apparatus off?

[Txfirephoto]

They did, they moved Battalion 1 to Station 2,  Brush 7 & Tender 7 to Station 1, Truck 1 to Station 7. There is also talk about putting an engine back out at 4's (Engine 4). 

 

The reason why they put Engine 7's Crimson into reserve is because there having issues with the pump

 

They got a new Pierce engine on order. Rumor has it, it's going to Engine 1. They haven't sold off any old apparatus.

Is Rescue 2 still using the Seagrave/Ex-Engine? Any talk of replacing that?

[Txfirephoto]

Yes there still using the Seagrave. I haven't hear any plains to replacing it. They are in the works of replacing station's 3 & 4 and building station 8 & 9 tho.
