A special thank you to PD Traffic Maintenance for printing and renumbering old Engine 1 and Engine 2 to Engine 5 and Engine 6 to match the fleet. Having a solid reserve fleet immediately ready to respond when needed for multiple alarm fires, emergency recalls or when frontline apparatus is out of service for maintenance or repairs is vital to our efficient operations.
