  Which engine is currently serving as Engine 123? I am guessing one of the 2016 Pierce rigs are serving as E123.

  Are we sure that this rig is black/red? It looks like a gun metal grey/red.

  Thanks Dan, it is a little sad that they are going away from their color scheme.

  John, more or less yes. The tele-squrt has been reassigned as Engine 122. When this arrives, it will replace both Engine 122 (Tele-squrt, formerly Engine 123) and Tower 122. Both will be sold if I remember correctly. I know the tower is already up for sale.

  Kinda a shame that they’re switching to black over red. I quite liked the old design. The stripe made them stand out against surrounding departments. Still a sharp looking rig though.

  Sharp looking rig so far! Sounds like it will be in service sometime late January or early February.
