  Michael m, I believe 145 was a Smeal, but I don’t remember pump or tank size. It was 1550 in Markham, out of Station 3 (now 34).
  The Sutphen is first out.

  Rj, E45 might have been refurbed when repainted. It sounds like a different motor.

  I went to nola after Katrina with Lake County rigs after that hurricane. We had problems with breakdowns constantly especially trucks. Why would they send a rig of this age to Florida? Did they drive?

  What do they run first out on most calls. Is it the 2022 Stuphen or is it the engine that is now deployed to Florida?
  When do they run the former Bloomingdale engine? Since that is Squad 45 do they only run that on accidents?

  Sorry about that,
  I forgot to take truck 145 out of my website description, they were using Markham’s HME stick as a reserve truck while they were storing it for Markham. It was only a temporary assignment.

  Look good at 28. I thought it was neat when it was green.
