Glad it is in service! Sounds like they are going to have a mixed fleet of suppression rigs. Two Toyne engines, the Pierce tower, The 2015 Pierce Engine and the 2011 Ferrara.
Does anyone know which rig(s) they like amongst all of the rigs?
I am guessing station 1 will have the Tower and the BC. The other 4 stations will have a engine and ambulance. Which station has the tanker 2 or 3?

Tower 981 will remain in service running as “983” at Station 3 for the remaining of the year until the new Toyne Engine for Engine 943 will be put into service.
The Quick Response Vehicle 920 is supposedly going to be put OOS then once the tower moves to Station 1.
Tower 981 is supposed to be moved to Station 1 by the beginning of next year
