Michael M the 2009 Ford will be reserve at St. 9. Squad is now reserve as Tarik stated. Ron Red changed Cad software and when they made that change they made a change to how they dispatch. Codes are no longer used. New order of dispatch is Companies due, Nature of call, Address, Grid, Address, Nature and then Companies due again. Harry because this is a remount we did not change every light out to LED to help keep down cost.

I see most of the lights are not led I wonder why

The squad is in reserve status in case engine 9 or engine 39 break.

Is Squad 9 still in use? How come I have seen them use engine 9 more?

What about the 2009 Ford. Is it currently running out of 39?

Any one know whats going on with RED? They seem to dispatch differently not using codes and repeating units again after the type of alarm?

This is the 2006 Ford. It will run out of 9. In a couple of weeks the 2007 Ford will go to Foster Coach and also get remounted. Once that is in service these two will rotate between 9 and 39 so that one doesn’t rake up mileage faster then the other.
