E326's current '07 Enforcer is going to be a reserve rig at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

BV used to have a second Uboat at old FS327 but that rig was sold a few years back. I want to say U324's SVI is a 96. It originally served as a Heavy Rescue in Michigan City, IN. Now, when U324's SVI goes down mechanical there is no spare. The 95 Dash will fill that role and the future plan is to send the SVI to be refurbed.
