What guys don’t realize this rig and the old tower 51 were both leased through pierce so they couldn’t have been kept. Josh was right they should have kept ladder 51 the original truck 517 if they wanted a spare but that truck. And as far and darwood and lisle merging it will never happen they tried it once and it turned out bad. Two different unions two totally different contracts.

Josh and Michael, I definitely agree with your comments. They are more than likely banking on Dar-Wood if they need a second spare engine. As far as the former Tower 51, it should have been kept as a designated spare for both departments to assure that two trucks are always in service.

Darwood and lisle should just merge

The math comes out to 3,300 miles a year over the 12 years they have had this rig. I am guessing this rig did not chase the Ambulance on every call. I am guessing this rig primarily responded to more “fire” related emergencies. I am sure the Dash CF has even fewer miles on it since it is a year newer. Hard to say how many miles the current engine 56 has on it, my guess is that would have the most. Will the new unit be designated as “Squad 53” or will it be Engine 53? I have to wonder why they are keeping only 1 reserve engine for the whole fleet? Maybe because Darwood kept engine 88 after station 88 was closed. Mabe they figure each department only needs 1 reserve rig. I think they should have kept the Arrow XT tower as a reserve for both Tower 51 and Ladder 89. I also don’t know how often each rig is taken OOS for maintenance. What they will have to do is space out the maintenance on all the rigs so that only 1 is OOS at a time.

I honestly can’t believe the miles on this engine. Someone is going to get a nice Rescue pumper and will serve another life. Lisle is selling the Impel Pumper 56 to a neighboring fire department once the two new Engines get delivered next month. They will be keeping Engine 52 (the Dash CF) as a reserve for the whole fleet. It’s a shame the administration won’t keep a 2nd reserve pumper on the roster and or would’ve saved the old Dash Ladder 51 as a reserve.

I’m surprised that they are getting rid of this one. I would have figured the Dash CF at 52 would go. Is their Impel reserve engine gone?

I am surprised such low milage for a 12 year old engine. I have been watching the progress of the replacement units on MaQueens Website. It looks like the new engines will have a body similar to Glenview’s Engines.
