  Am I interpreting this correctly… the Mid-mount tower is stationed at Station 23? I figured they would have centralized the tower to the district.

  Michael, The old E-21 (Crimson) Will go into the place of E-24 where it will serve as a reserve. The old E-24 will likely start it’s process of being sold to someone who will use it for another life. The Pierce E-23 is back into the frontline status at it’s new east-side fire station where it is a BLS frontline engine company crossmanned with an ambulance and Tower 23.
  Having the Crimson in the reserve status makes it much easier to switch into with all of the medical equipment that the other two ALS engines now posess.
  The Crimson did go out with pumping a fire the evening before we switched into the E-One.

  Nice looking engine, simple no nonsense engine. Love the color, it looks like it is a lighter red. I am sure it will serve them well. South Elgin has quite a mixed fleet, E-One, Crimson, Pierce and Rosenbauer. Will the current engine 21 become the new engine 23?
