They should build it across the street from 844 lol

S275

Utility 859?

When I went by 842, only the ambulance was there and no TRV. So my guess is 844 is at 842. Also heard R826 on the radio today go 1st due Rio Verde.

GilbertFIRE, you’re right E844 is in service using E833’s old Ferrara E841 is using E837’s old Ferrara. Have not seen E842 today and E843 is in Coolidge for MCI drill.

I believe e842 had their rig repainted. Also no E844 to my knowledge yet. Just the TRV. Unless they had extra manpower or the TRV was using an engine one day.

This is AMR2541 renumbered right?

BLS rides w/ ALS gear allowing Scottsdale Medics to ride in without taking their ALS gear off of the engine/ladder and keeping their trucks in service longer.

It’s a Yuma ship moved to gila bend.

Yeah, new trend here in Arizona. Central Arizona Fire & Medical Authority - Combined fire districts of Central Yavapai & Chino Valley (Dispatched by Prescott) Arizona Fire & Medical Authority - Combined fire districts of North County Fire District (+Wittman) & Sun Lakes Fire District (Dispatched by PFDRDC) Copper Canyon Fire & Medical Authority - Combined fire districts of Camp Verde & Montezuma Rimrock (Dispatched by Cottonwood)

2008 Pierce ArrowXT from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue E857 is getting one too that just arrived at the shops. So far 3 of these have made it to Arizona. E841, E857, Yuma E1. Heard Rural Metro Knoxville have gotten 2 as well.

Gila Bend has their own CON (CON 78), Buckeye Valley's CON overlapped Gila Bend. Head Gila Bend will be putting their own rescue (back) in service. Only time will truly tell.

That wasn't squad 8, it was support 8. Squad 8 has been remounted onto a 2015 Spartan Gladiator with its 2006 American LaFrance Body. Support 8 is now in a 2014 Freightliner Step Van. No more crane.

L255 is actually being moved closer to (south) Chandler, from Power & Germann to Higley & Ocotillo. Still glad to see Chandler putting another ladder in service, they could use it for sure. https://www.gilbertaz.gov/home/showdocument?id=2316

Town of Paradise Valley recently renewed their ambulance contact with Lifeline aka PMT. I wonder if that will change or if Lifeline will keep an ambulance for the town. As most know, they cover the town with their Scottsdale system ambulances.

I don’t know. Has a lot of water compared to these PUCs. Maybe 826? 842? I’ll keep my ears open.

Rural Metro Fire Department, E859 in their new-to-them Pierce Enforcer. Rumor has it, that 3 Pierce PUCs are on their way to San Tan Valley to replace the Ferraras at E841,842,843.

Are the specs online somewhere? Curious if they'll differ from their interfacility rides.

I wonder if those uniforms will stick..

E859 with new graphics

Ah ok. I understand now. Thanks.

Would 255 have 2 crews then or would they coman the Ladder with the new Engine?

Few weeks ago Queen Creek was checking out a 101' Rosenbauer tower and earlier this week eone had their demo tower at Queen Creek too. Queen Creek is really growing at a fast rate. L255 is their closest ladder (which is getting old) followed by either L251 or L542. Wouldn't be a bad move to have a quint as their next purchase. Depending on how pierce's ascendant performs, seems like it would fit the bill. But, its not my money or decision..
