The new wider, taller and better equipped engine will have room to carry
extrication, ventilation, and lighting equipment normally found on a "Squad". If
the test goes well, several more will be ordered and placed strategically around
the city and will also carry the number one in front of the old engine / station
number. They should be staffed with four personnel minimally. One Officer,
One engineer, and two Firefighters.These pictures were taken at the Tactical
Support Facility just prior to being placed in service. Click the triangle to
