They just ordered them, L33 & E58 will be delivered in about  year  

The Rosenbauer Engine ordered for 58's was purchased because

 Laveen is outside the City of Phoenix and it saved the Laveen Fire District over $200,000

 Still trying to confirm if they ordered 14 more Quantum engines under the purchase/lease program

Saw Squad 44 on the freeway the other day. Looks sharp with the new cab. Also, one of the old E-One ARFF rigs is at a resale dealer on Grand/35th ave.

I still can't find anyone or anything that confirms Laveen purchasing on their own. As it stands, E58 is still getting their new Pierce.

I've been out of the Pinal County loop. About 2 years ago the Florence annex fell through and I'm pretty sure so did the plans for the 3rd & 4th fire station. I believe they also downed their TRV staffing. The prior chief spent a lot of money and I think their struggling. A lot of the Florence guys are moonlighting at Superstition EMS part time.

I wish they would put one of the old ARFF rigs up at Deer Valley. Its better than some of the other ARFF trucks front lined elsewhere in the valley.

Tks for the info, People who live in magic ranch &  Oasis told me that Florence

Annex them. I will have to do some research, The Rosenbauer pumper was in the City council meeting minutes

and was purchased as out of the city item for E58

there's no plans for sta. 543 and 544. chief zick blew a lot of smoke with the expansion, got ahead of himself and he was gone no much longer. he wanted to expand into san tan and said they would have 7 stations in the next 5 years. trv is still being staffed, they currently have 3 medics and 1 emts working part time for SFMD.
