So are they going back to the quint/squirt engine companys? I thought I heard they were going to stop that and go with just regular engine companys.

They are going back to the quints.  I was told the only reason they went away from them was due to budget, they couldn't afford the booms, but they needed 3 trucks.  The Sutphen engines are very nice rigs, but the consensus was the guys preferred the booms.

Station 8 is on a very busy street, and the sun really played with us here.  We did the best we could, but this will need to be revisited in the early morning to take advantage of the sun.

 

Engine 8 was heavily damaged in an accident, so Spare Engine 8 has been running for several months. It is a 1999 Spartan Gladiator/Saulsbury 2000/500/50 foot.

Also housed at station 8 is Recall Engine 8, also a 1999 Spartan Gladiator/Saulsbury 2000/500/50 foot.

 

Spare engines are only loaded with hose, and all equipment must be transferred from the rig going out of service.  Recall rigs are fully loaded, and are available during major emergencies for use by recalled firefighters.
