  Cmk420,

  Yes, they have a reserve ambulance at 14. Ambulance 14R

  MP runs with E12 (Pierce Quantum), E13 (now E11) (Pierce Dash CF) and Engine 14 (Pierce Dash CF).. from my understanding they should have 1 if not 2 Pierce quantum’s as spares

  So,”dumb” question–If Ambulance 12R is becoming Ambulance 11, does Mt. Prospect still have a reserve Ambulance somewhere else?

  My apologies, I thought squad 13 was still the rescue pumper. I must not have seen that its engine 13 now that they have the heavy rescue. And now with station 11 opening engine 13 is now engine 11. So MP doesn’t have the rescue pumper anymore?

  Hopefully in the near future MTPR is able to hire additional personnel to staff a 4th engine. With EGT disbanded, the area is short an engine company that I’m sure the surrounding departments depended on for auto aid. Now MTPR is doing more with no additional staffed companies and a larger response area.

  Engine 13 – 2018 Pierce Dash CF PUC) will be Engine 11
  Ambulance 12R – 2017 Freightliner/Horton will be Ambulance 11

  Squad 13 is out of Station 14 and is only staffed by POC employees.

  When I was there last year, the current reserve engine was a 2005 Pierce Quantum

  Current rigs at Station 13 are TWR13, A13, and E13. The squad is only staffed when needed. Simply moving the engine from 13 to 11.

  I believe the current engine 13 is a 2018 Pierce Dash CF. I believe their current reserve engine is a 2015 or 16. Another possibility is they put the older Quantum as engine 11 and the 18 Dash CF is now reserve.

  Ok it looks like the tower will be the frontline suppression company out of Station 13. Will the current Engine 13 become the new Engine 11? I am guessing the squad will become a jump company with the tower ladder. Good thing they have a new tower ladder on order. I am sure the current Tower 13 has over 100K miles on it.

  So from reading this it looks like engine 11’s manpower came from squad 13.
