Prince William County VA
The Evergreen VFD was recently merged with Prince William County, with the County assuming administrative operations (a 24 hour engine company has been staffed for several years, now in addition to a 24 hour tanker).  The County is currently figuring out which apparatus will be kept, what is kept will be re-lettered.

 

Engine 515B is the back-up pumper, it used to be run as a rescue engine.  There are talks of this one going.

Ambulance 515 is a 2009 International/Excellance.  Will probably become a County reserve unit.

 

   

 

Utility 515 was converted into a Command unit by FastLane last year.  Not sure what the outcome of this unit will be.

Manassas Fire and Rescue is in the process of speccing a new rescue engine.  When that is delivered, this 1996 Spartan Gladiator/American Fire & Rescue will be sold.  Rescue 501 is staffed 24/7 by the Manassas career staff.  The large white 'Z' above the rear officer door is in memory of a member who died from cancer.

From the Antioch station, Medic 524 recently had the front bumper wrapped in Chevrons and the wheel covers removed.  This unit will go into reserve this summer with the delivery of a new (and red) medic unit.

Medic 504 is a new 2013 International/2015 Wheeled Coach.  This and M520 ("Prince William Commons") are the first County medic units with the community name on the doors.  These units are equipped with the Stryker Power-Load system, absolutely great.

 

Four medic units on order, slated for M508 (Yorkshire), M524 (Antioch), M525 (Bristow), and M526 (Bacon Race, station under construction).

Also taken at the house fire in Nokesville was the County's Fire Marshals Investigations unit.  Formerly was used by the Logistics division.  This one doesn't get out too often.

I'll finish up this installment with a variety of units at the Training Academy located in Nokesville.
