For TBT-Orland FPD’s Engines 7&8, 1999 Pierce Saber 1500/750. Photo taken at Orland Maintenance Bldg. I believe these two are dedicated spares, correct me if I am wrong. These two are probably gone since last week I spotted an Engine 8 in town which was a 2009 Spartan/Darley. Enjoy and comment.Mike Summa
