I was born and rasied in Jefferson Co. 418 first due. I remember the E-ones and the Type 1 ambulance and medic.... I miss it down there. I havent been down there in almost 7 years, I look forward to getting down there sometime soon. Thanks for posting the photos. I enjoyed seeing Fairfax Upgrades.
A little birdie told me the Dash pumpers have been pushed back until January of 2008. I also heard a third Mack Granite/Pierce tanker has been added, and two heavy rescues on Velocity chassis may soon be roaming the streets of Fairfax.
Thanks Jerry and YeOlde for the info. I guess I am glad to hear the Dash's are pushed back to early next year. My late August/early September trip wasn't going to be in time for their arrival anyway. I have to look at what I want to shoot when I am in town. I am going to try for a few quantum rescue engines that are lime green.

Two new rescues are on order for the County on Velocity chassis, and a noted publication that covers metro Washington DC area says that the Pierce midmount tower that had been ordered has been changed to a rear mount tower which will be assigned to Tower 401 in McLean. I recently heard that the new Fairfax County Dash pumpers will be delayed for arrival early next year. The previously mentioned noted publication mentions assignments of the Engines to Great Falls (412), Clifton (416) Gunston (420) and Fairview (432) and will have CAFS.
