I'm making educated guesses here but...Truck 1 (1999), Truck 5 (2005), Truck 11 (2004)?



I wish they still ran the old late-80s E\-One Hurricane 110' as a reserve. Would love to see that running around.

I think the old 110' is now at the Florida State Fire College.

The current temporary stations are: 10 (engine & rescue) at Vic Edwards and Fruitville, 15 (engine & rescue) on Pinkney Rd (the permanent station is supposed to break ground in September at Honore and Bloomfield), 16 (ALS engine) in Twin Lakes Park (Hummingbird Rd), and 17 (rescue only) on N. Cattleman. 17 is staffed M-F 0800-1600.[/quote]



Thanks for the info!



What station do you work at?



If you're ever up in North Sarasota you'll probably see me hoping out, taking pictures.

I am now the B shift Lieutenant at Station 15. I spent a few years at Station 4 as a firefighter.

Thats a pretty decent hoseload on that rig. I bet its a pain in the butt to pack.

[mj1074]

Not the best photos as they were taken at maintenance, but here is Sarasota County Engine 16 (2007 Cyclone II 1250/1500)



Also Engine 21 (2006 Typhoon 1250/1500) & Engine 10 (2007 Cyclone II 1250/1500)

This is Engine 611 a 1992 E\-One Protector from the now closed South Venice Volunteer Fire Department in Venice, FL. It is actually the same truck in post 446, Engine 22.

Nice setup with the hose. How much and what type of hose is carried in each bed (or is it all the same)?

Quite a nice rig for Robbins. When I lived in Illinois, Robbins was a relatively poor community with pretty much second hand equipment for their volunteer department. How did they ever afford a rig like this?
