4 Velocity midmount ladder are due 3Q next year

New ED/BC trucks ordered

It does look weird on a Quantum. 

Superstition runs civilian medics. 

L201’s old truck is being repaired and will go to 214 when put back in service. The 3 ladders that were suppose to be ordered, Pierce rejected the specs due to a weight issue. So the 3 ladders plus a engine will go to city council next month for approval. And thank god, they’ll be white. 

Also 2-3 additional ambos should be up soon, potentially out of 220. New SS208 should be in service in May. 

Yeah lots of changes. I heard L214 might be in an LT and L206 is getting the stick... but haven’t seen it. 

MR202 will be housed at Old Station 202 soon, will run out of 201 until then. MR205 is suppose to run out of 206 until renovations at 205 are complete. 

AJ has one TRT, E262. 

As of 0700 this morning:

TRV218 becomes MR205

TRV203 becomes MR202

L206 and SQ206 becomes L219 and SQ219

E219 becomes E2218

E206 and HM206 become E217 and HM217

E217 becomes E2203

E209 becomes E2220

LT220 becomes L206

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

Local 2260 said it at the last union meeting. 

3 Pierce Velocity Ascendant mid mount... in red... are on order. 

I do like Rosenbauer’s lighting. 

I going to be the hater but it’s such a boring looking truck. And I hate the mirrors. 

In typical Mesa fashion, they’re back at the drawing board for potential moves slated for March. Should know in February.... not holding my breath.

L201’s truck is done for good. Maintenance made fixes but will not be returning their truck to frontline. A new ladder is being ordered on the 15th. 

They respond first out to anything except MVAs and fires. They respond to those 2 as manpower. 

Heard a rumor that a ladder order is being submitted mid-January. Pierce Velocity Ascendant MMT. 

Not yet, I think it supposed to be in by the end of January. 

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.

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. 

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

I believe the FAA had something to do with numbers changing. 

I’ve never hear of PLS either. 

The city isn’t going to fund another 2 engine companies even though their number guy they hired says the city actual needs quite a few more stations and trucks. Mesa’s LA/TRV pilot is such a mess. The original LA pilot failed immediately, then they went to having 3 LAs out of 203 and 2 would respond to calls + AMR, so you had “3 ambulances” show up. Citizens were not thrilled about that. The TRV is an ok concept but theyre a lot of issues that need to be resolved. 

Those look clean. 

Should be in service mid-August 

Not surprised at all.
