Arcola - purchasing a Spartan/Ferrara 1500/750. I have been told this will run from South Riding.

Neersville - new Ford F ambulance, similar to the Aldie unit.

Hamilton Rescue - placed into service a new Ford F ambo

South Riding - Pierce Dash 95' tower

Terry,



I have not heard a confirmation about a squad in Leesburg. As you may know, Leesburg operates seperate fire and rescue companies. The Rescue squad operates a heavy squad and Loudoun County now has paid staff at the rescue company for the squad. Squad 13 is a 1992 E-1, so it is getting some age.



The interesting arrival in Leesburg will be the new Seagrave tiller truck this year. It will be equipped with extrication tools. I have been told that once the Seagrave tiller is in service, Leesburg's current rescue engine (1995 E-1 Protector) will be sold. A lot of decisions I believe are still up in the air.

Looking forward to seeing updated photos. I was at Station 2 just after the beginning of the year. It sounds like a lot of work has happened since then.



Is Purcellville getting another Pierce Quantum?

Soon to be Jeep2 update pictures.

While I was at FESCO Emergency Sales today I shot a couple dreaded inside shots of Leesburg's new TDA. It's an impressive rig and the members there should be proud because they spec'd a nice unit that will serve their area for years to come.



I wasn't able to do much around it as they were applying the lettering and striping as you can see in some of the pics.



Some of the unique features of the unit include an Amkus Ultimate System and assorted hydraulic rescue tools. This unit is going to run as a rescue unit and will be equipped with rescue struts, cribbing and other assorted rescue gear. It has a 30kw Harrison Hydraulic Generator, 100' steel aerial and of course the standard truck company tools.



Hopefully someone from Virginia will shoot the rig after it is delivered to Leesburg.

[Guest]

A better shot of the cab, it was tight quarters in the shop!

[Guest]

The compartments behind the cab have hydraulic reels and tools mounted in them.

[Guest]

This one is a little blurry but it shows some of the trailer, they are still mounting tools in the compartments and are about two thirds complete.

[Guest]

The generator and Amkus Ultimate System are mounted in this compartment.

[Guest]

I have a couple other shots of the compartments that were complete with the tools mounted. If anyone wants to see them I'll post them later. If not, that's all folks!
