All Yorktown apparatus will be in the red color scheme and striping found on Engine 270, Ladder 51 and MA-8.

I'm curious to know if this rescue will be housed at headquarters, or at the Locksley Rd. station. If it's going to be housed at headquarters, I'm going to asssume that space limitations is going to affect the spec's of the rescue?

BTW, good catch once again LFD171!

The new Rescue will respond out of Station 2 (Locksley Rd.) The spec call for a 6 man cab and a walk around body, with NO cascade. Oh and yes it will be RED. The members of the committee worked very hard on the spec's, making sure they put together a rig that will best suit and work for Yorktown. I would like to thank them for all the work they put into it. Also all the members for there input.

Old R-16 will be re-designated.
