DFD Under Water Rescue. This is the only blue truck in the DFD fleet and one of only a handful of blue rigs in the state. This truck served as a Colorado State Patrol Command Post which the DFD purchased for a their new dive rig, their budget was maxed out on new equipment so it never got a new white paint job... at least its fitting for the dive team.

Couple of questions if I may...
Aurora Squad Co. 12, is this a new company in place of Engine 12 or a 2nd company from 12's? Is the body on the Denver Dive Rescue Unit a Saulsbury? I am assuming it is cross-staffed, any idea by whom? Rescue Co. 01 by chance. Same thing for the TRT rig? Thanks in advance. Great photos from Colorado. Thanks for sharing them.

The DFD dive truck is an SVI body and runs out of St. 1, I believe the TRT rig is at ones also. DFD's rescue company is stationed at 11's so I don't believe they cross-staff anything but would obviously be on scene of any incident requiring those resources.

They're placed in areas spread out from the Truck Companies and carry extra equipment likes extrication & saws. The idea is to have them perform truck work when the Truckies are delayed. As SFD said, Rescue 1 is located at 11's for now. The Collapse Rescue is cross staffed by Tower 1 and the Underwater Rescue is cross staffed by Engine 1. Rescue 1 will still respond to every call with those two units for support though.

[/quote] Just for fun, I added an image of DFD's "New" water rescue, when CSP owned it. Circa 1994. Sorry about the quality. I wasn't very skilled at photographing apparatus back then (probably not much better now!) This is a scan of an original 4x6 print. Cheers! image7801 www.fireapparatusphotos.com

Nice, I haven't seen it in it's original glory in quite awhile. I see the Q-Siren was an upgrade of DFD's.
