  There is also a spare ambulance labeled “A61” behind frontline ambulance 61 at station 61. It’s 61’s old freightliner that the ford replaced

  Des Plaines keeps all of their spare rigs at the Public Works building. They have 2 spare engines, a spare tower, and 1 or 2 spare ambulances. The spare battalion is behind 61 (or at least it was when I went there) and I believe one of the older pierce dash spare engines was turned into a spare squad labeled “S63”

  Where do they keep the old E 63 and the old tower? Are they kept at 61 or 62?

  I am guessing the old engine 63 is now their reserve. I guess they kept the old Tower 61 as a reserve when they received the new Enforcer.
