Never saw this coming.. <eye roll> 
 
none the less it will be interesting to see how this would affect the current transition. A lot of money has been dumped into the central AZ market. 

Here's Peoria's 3rd rescue.  I was initially told it would be going to 199's at Lake Pleasant, due to the 4wd, but most recently they've just been using it in rotation with the other two.
2015 Ford F-350/Northstar Type I (demo rig)..
 

Went by the shop today. 
 
L4 is inside for up fitting
 
R7, R13, & R43 have decals on & almost ready. 
 
New SQ8 & SQ44 are inservice & on the streets.
 
A new BC Ford p/u is getting up fitted. 
 
A brand new Chevy Tahoe PPV has been delivered, not sure where thats going. 
 
Didn't see any other new engines, I think I'm missing one someplace. 

Are you sure there not talking about the old L263 ALF Stick 
It's cheaper to have a LT, that also can be used as spare, if one of the ladders go's down   

Rural Metro recently received a new Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This time it was actually built at an up fitter rather than the traditional in house RM/SWA radio shop.

Lack of space  with R411 E411 BC411 (WT411 it was moved to 412's)  E419 (old E412)  when they are not using it , they have been storing it at 255's, When they get new station 411 built, It will have 4 Bays (1 separate Bay for the BC), they will store it there & AMR 411 will move there. Suppose to break ground in June /July & then start construction on 413's  SE corner of Queen Creek Rd & Sossaman.  In  2 years they will be getting Ladder Tower (L411) & another Impel PUC engine (E413) andl hire 13 FF's for station for 413's

Anyone who is apart of the regional dispatch system.

 
I haven't heard anything. I've noticed all the AMT rides are pretty much sold off. The Rural Metro Ambulance brand that has been running in Maricopa county have switched into Southwest Ambulance rides for both Interfacility and EMS. Leaving Rural Metro Fire rescues, Southwest Ambulance, and PMT ambulance. Not sure much on the PMT side. I would guess Comtrans and all of those other brands that Bob started. 

They run a done calls are in Chandler,  Also Station 259 on Ocotillo & W of Higley Rd (the sign is already up)  will be done around the same time as Station 2811, that will even take more load off them.  Chandler & Gilbert  will most likely build out with 12 stations each , Proposed future stations are  2812 Queen Creek Rd halfway between McQueen Rd & Arizona Ave & 2512 Val Vista & Ocotillo Rd's, Queen Creek New Station 411  ground breaking has been pushed back to around June and once that's done, work on Station 413 should start at Queen Creek Rd w/of Sossman,  

They have been handling IF from Del Webb for some time now. They have both Medic and Rescue units. SW actually does not have a CON for IF transports in that area. RM does. They used to dispatch AMT or RM marked ambulances into SCW when requested to do so. 

Daisy Mountain is experiencing this right now. At times, all of their rescues along with their medic unit are on transports from JCL. 

You can never have to big of a ladder!

Is T842 the newer style tanker that was at Queen Creek before the town fd?

A few years ago the Town of Florence entered into contract with Southwest Ambulance. The contract places requirements on the ambulances. Such requirements include vehicles under a certain millage, therefore SW has purchased new vehicles for the area.
 
First a little background;
The Town of Florence Fire Department aka Florence Fire/Medical has two stations and staffs three apparatus. With plans on expansion with the upcoming annexations planned.
 
FS541: E541, TRV541
FS542: L542, C541, BC542, BC543
 
Southwest Ambulance operates out of two stations.
 
Station 548 Historic Florence
AP548
AP549
 
Station 547 aka Florence Hospital at Anthem
AP547
 
The first wave of 'new' ambulances came after SW pulled from Chandler. Shops 486, 487, & 488 were R281, R2810, & AP283 thus becoming AP547 (shop486), AP548 (shop487), and AP549 (shop488).
 
The next wave came in March when SW purchased 3 brand new Ford/Braun ambulances. These have the Ford gas motors. Shops 494 (AP547), 495 (AP548), & 496 (AP549). The lighting seems to be the cheaper Code 3 PSE brand LED lighting vs the Whelen light package that were on the Chandler Rescues.
 
Those Chandler rescues then went to Maricopa as AP571 (shop486), AP572 (shop487), & AP573(shop488).
 
Here are some photos... I'll work on getting better quality of all the rides.
