    That was support 8 and it’s been replaced with a bread truck that engine 8 takes. Squad 8 has new spartan gladiator chassis with their American Lagrange body remounted.

    What makes it so vs attack?

    SQ19 is 4-door Chevy chasis with utility body for EMS / incidents in parking garage

    The crew can then take the Attack Truck for ARFF incidents. 2 trucks, 1 crew.

    Gila Bend voted to accept a donation of a fire engine from El Mirage. 

    Fry Fire District will handling the EMS billing for Gila Bend EMS. 

    Mainstay Solutions, LLC to provide EMS dispatching services for EMS for fiscal years 2019, 2020, & 2021. They're an IT firm, I hope this just means set up their dispatch system.

    Heaven't heard anything about Native 1 but rumor was LifeNet1 was shutting down (this was pre-the news of the hospital). LN1 was/is Gila River's preferred air ambulance service and they've been grounding alot more of their patients to Chandler now that they're Level 1. Also, AMR's air ambulance division is looking at establishing a base in Coolidge. As most know, AirEvac is AMR's preferred air ambulance and that could change if/when AMR's division comes into play. That'll really put AirEvac 6, 8, 9 at risk for scene calls in the county.

    Any info on 310 Dust Control’s wildland contract?

    Nah, I don't have any info on it other than its an available resource on the state roster. Pretty sweet rig through.

    Central Arizona Wildland Response Team (CAWRT) held their annual re-certification drill over the weekend in the Lower Salt River area of the Tonto National Forest. Here are some of the Type 6 & a few Type 3 engines that were present on day 2.

    Rural Metro had, what looked to be, 2 new tenders parked outside of their fleet. They were facing away from me. Body looked like TruckWorks (or similar). They were yellow w/ typical blue striping. I wonder if T825 & T842 are being replaced. 

    The dodge ram type 6 looked to have gotten a facelift as well. I believe she was the old BR857 at one point. Another type 6 was also in the lot.

    I gotta think that rig is more expensive than the Pierce. It's nice looking but will probably be the only one they get. 

    The FD complied with the no single source clause, so now we can go back to being consistent.
