Question on former Heartland B3 rig

3 posts in this topic

The former Heartland Fire & Rescue B3 (El Cajon) Ford pick-up is still housed over at 9's.  I do not think I've seen that roll on any calls for a long time.  Just wondering if that is a BC rig in reserve, or if it is being used for other purposes.

This rig is utilized as the B3 reserve and is normally kept at Sta. 9. A new B3 vehicle bid has been awarded and should be delivered towards the end of summer.

Thanks 'diamond682'.  The current B3 is a very nice rig for sure.  I assume that will go into reserve?   My suggestion to the chief a while ago is put the B3 reserve above (now at Sta.9's) into action at Sta. 6's, as a "squad" that the truck crew could use on all the MED-AID runs they have, instead of putting all that wear & tear on the Pierce T6.  Here's a pic of the current B3.
