New engines for the Tri-State FPD (more)

This from Josh Boyajian:

I attended the Wetdown Ceremony for Tri-State’s new Engine 511. The event was organized by Tri-State’s Acting Chief Pat Brenn, the trustees, and firefighters. The rig was blessed along with a prayer for the firefighters that are going to be using it. Engine 511 was then wet down and pushed into the firehouse bay where it entered full service Friday @ about 16:20. Here are some pictures I took at the event.

  Congratulations to The TSFPD on the new apparatus, and for having an administration that is able to move forward and do what is best for the employees and the residents of the district!!

  It represents the flag flying from a stanchion such as on a limousine where the Blue Field is always the edge towards the supporting flag pole or stanchion

  Tom concerning the Flag code you would be correct if the Flag was on the front or back of the Engine.
  On the sides the stars always face forward

  Congrats on the new apparatus!

  The flag graphic is incorrect. Flag code indicates the union should be in the upper left.
