Hi I am sorry for the typos and confusing everyone
Also to answer a question I think that 61 will be replacing 51 in the apparatus rotation and 50 will be replaced by 51 in reserve status

What is the purpose of a light wagon couldn’t a night scan light tower do the job?

To answer the questions –
277 was a minibus donated by a local assisted living/nursing home. Vehicle was completely refurbished in-house by the FD.
Only two engines are usually in the firehouse as the third is normally kept at a separate maintenance facility nearby. I would anticipate that E61 will be first out when it is placed in service. E77 will be the second engine and E51 will be at the maintenance garage. Engines are often rotated to even out wear.
The firehouse has four bays across the front with (L to R) – Ambulances, Engine, H&L, BC. The Squad and Comm Van are parked behind the BC. The new light wagon is still a work in progress.

Nice pictures there. They must have gotten a good deal on that command post. No doubt a former rental car/ hotel shuttle. Looks to be in good shape.
E 77 really looks nice with the shine on those tires.

When Engine 61 is placed in service, will it be in Engine 77’s place? Where will Engine 51 and 77 be? Will they be behind Engine 61?
