E326's current 07 Enforcer has not been refurbished yet. It might be sent for the same refurb that the one currently in Vegas at Firetrucks Unlimited is receiving but the decision has not been finalized. If it is sent to refurb it will be assigned to E328, sending E328's Saber into reserve.

The current situation on the Freightliners is as follows:

2000 FL80/EOne (formerly E328) is a spare

1999 FL80/EOne (formerly E326) has been removed from service due to frame cracks and mechanical deterioration. It will not return to service at BV.

1997 FL80/Pierce is still a spare

1997 FL80/Pierce was given an in house refurb and repainted into the black over red scheme. Currently a spare.

 

Opps, I meant the U-boat. 

But thanks for the report, I never make it that far west. 

Why such an older rig for a dedicated reserve? How old is the freightliner?

not going to the LT

The LT is next and is being spec’d. Will be similar to E575. 

Phoenix’s 1st velocity engine getting ready for the streets.

Not yet. I’m sure after the response model change and prop 126 lawsuit become more clear. We’ll hear something. 

There is talk of moving HM38 to FS32. Tempe is making some changes to their deployment model. Mesa with this attempt. Superstition also looking at a deployment change. Too bad departments can't come together with a white board and figure out whats best for everyone.

Sorry for my delayed response. 

The city hasn’t signed off on the plan, which is hilarious in itself. More news on the moves should be coming Wednesday morning. There’s definitely not 14 trucks coming though. 221 has a new location near Ellsworth & Ray, 222 somewhere around Power & McLellan.

The squads should be staying with the ladders. HM206 should go to 220. 

So, any word on this? I haven't been at work nor listened to mesa's radio in while.

I don’t think anyone believe Chris Brady. Apparatus wise, I know they want to get a new ladder and hopefully get a couple engines. I wouldn’t be surprise if they order new ambos, MRV/TRV F550 trucks and staff cars. So maybe that’s where the “14” comes from. 

Also, supposedly Mesa is moving forward with going red for apparatus (haven’t decided on which shade of red) but keeping all other vehicles white... which is ridiculous.

Did TRV203 ever get a dedicated vehicle? Last I saw they were in an engine.

Funny things happening in Mesa:

201 will be the only dual company engine/ladder. 203 & 205 dual engines. 220 dual engines (HazMat)

Breakdown-

HazMat-E204 & E206>FS220

TRT-L204, L206>FS214 or FS219

L214, L220>FS204 or FS206

E209, E219, E220>FS203, FS205, or possible ARU

TRVs redesignated as MRV, 7d/wk 12hrs. Third unit should be in service sometime next year. 

Timeline:March 2019

Where will the SQs and HM go?

Squad Tender 8 (ST8) - similar concept to LTs but in reality the ST8 is used with the large squad is down.

So RFRD according to the regular full time and the regular part time ambulances there are 34 and not 38 ambulances in regular service as I counter 24 full time Rescue Unit and 10 partime Rescue Units. Is that correct?

Of the Night Time Units the only one that doesn't run during the day (part time) is Rescue 29 as the remaining 5 night time units are also in service during part of the day time as well. Am I correct? 

Also are the Rescue units that were at Stations 5 and 16 no longer at those locations?

Yes, R29 is the only part time rescue that’s only at night. Everyone else has a day time counterpart. R19, R38, R52, R57 are the only part time rescues that are only during the day. 

No rescue at FS5. DB1 parks at FS16 when not at the ballpark.

Thank's RFRD. The (3) next to 918 does that mean Rescue 18,918 and LA 18. I understand that LA (low accuity 18) is going to be redesignated shortly.

What is the DB1, USA1 and R99,98 97 and 96.? Are the 4 90's series unit special event units or are they surge units that get put in service  when there are disasters or extenuating emergenices?

The (3) represents that during the day, R918 is responding out of FS3. At night, back to FS18. Anytime you see a unit with a (#) beside it means that unit is covering that station  aka on Move Up 

LA18 has already been reidentified as MR18. 

At FS18 is E18, E918, MR18, R18, R918 (at night). 

DB1 is Diamondbacks 1, Ambulance for DBacks games. 

USA1 was for US Airways center but that facility has changed names & uses private contractor for EMS. Now USA1 is used for specials events, processionals, etc. you’ll see this placard during dignitary visits. 

FAIR1 is Ambulance dedicated to the state fair. DPS medics handle the EMS. FAIR1 transports. 

The 90’s are used for larger events, EMS training, or Code 3 driving training.

I was wondering what the current Ambulance companies are with the Phoenix fire department, If you have the current list do you have it broken down into the 23 full time and 15 part time units. Also do  the part time ambulance put in the same hours and from when to when do they operate?

The latest list that I have is 4 years old and is from 2014 and is not accurate either. That is the last Phoenix fire department run summary list that I have and on that list there are only 34 Ambulances even though on the top of the list it claims that there were 37 ambulance in service. It seems that Phoenix hasn't posted an up to date "Run Summary" list for 4 years now. That list also didn't break down which ambulances were part time either. On the annual fact sheet which was for the previous fiscal year of 2017/18 and presumably had ended in July, it claims that the Phoenix fire department was running with 38 ambulances. As I was saying the lists that I have are not accurate and are most likely out of date and as none of them have the full 38 ambulances or "Rescues" listed.

 

Thanks!

This was GDY's 6-year ambulance plan that was posted Feb 2017. The 1st Ambulance is supposed to be going inservice FY2018. 

6-Year Phase-In Plan.pdf

The current LA18 will change its name to MR18 on the 15th of this month. 

It was determined that the name “low acuity” does not aline well with the actual deployment of the unit. LA18 is a 4-person ALS company that responds to critical EMS calls for service without the need for MPW backup. This isn’t consistent with the LA program system wide. It’s been mentioned in another post that MR154 may also go in service as a unique partnership between Gelendale & Phoenix Fire Departments.

I thought the TRV nomenclature was nixed by the ROCC in favor of LA. 

So did I until I saw Mesa’s TRV205 & TRV203. 

The LA’s are obviously low acuity and handle those lower priority calls. These TRV’s are ALS 4-person crews without any penalties or distance limitations. They have MPW so they don’t need to be backed up.  I like the idea. It makes sense to me. It’s what LA18 ‘should’ be in my opinion.  

This is a 4 person ALS crew using a reserve engine until a smaller apparatus is placed in service. 

And the grant funder small fire suppression unit should be received soon. 

A TRV is a transitional response vehicle, used to bring a truck in service in order to run medical or service calls while keeping larger apparatus available. This post is funny because the TRV is just another engine in this case. Similar to the LA programs some cities run but in this case, they have manpower and usually ALS instead of the 2-man trucks and being ILS/PLS (with the exception of LA18)
