I used to live in LaGrange. Many people miss the ladder they used to have since it would lead the Pet Parade.
I would assume this would be their front line engine. Would they run their other engine as mutual aid and keep the third as the reserve?
Call volume may not require staffing at the level as in year’s past, I just seem to remember it wasn’t unusual for them to run two engines or ladder and engine in town.
Hope this serves them well!
