Posted August 20, 2013 I remember reading a long, long time ago that LVFD leases their entire fleet? I know they are almost 100% Pierce, if I'm not mistaken? How long do they keep their rigs in front line service for, and are they due for any fleet upgrades anytime soon? fdny1075thebox likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 21, 2013 The standard tends to be 10 years of service (give or take a few years) around the time rigs get replaced. The problem that is happening now is that if you look only 6 of the 19 engines are 2006's with the rest being from 2001. Most of the rescues and all of the trucks (with the exception of 48) have been replaced as well as the special units with the exception of the Haz Mat and Air Resource. As to the units being leased I have not heard that. There was word sent out a few months ago in regards to 2 engine and 2 or 4 (not sure which) rescues being purchased, with that being said station 108 (Bonanza & Lamb) will begin building hopefully next month and will probably house an engine and rescue. x635 and fdny1075thebox like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 21, 2013 If sombody has a contact at Hughes Fire Equipment, the area Pierce dealer, then that will be answered. As far as I have read, LVFR has purchased all their equipment in recent years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
