When was 3-3 moved??

2-2 was the first rig I learned how to drive/pump. 4-4 was the last rig I was assigned to before I left in 98.

Any plans on possibly building another firehouse?? Maybe over towards Hill and Dale?? Or possibly a second Brush truck at the Taj Mahal???

JBE, 3-3 was moved in December. Once we recieved the old chiefs car and made it 17-81 fire police vehicle the chief figured we could use 3-3 at station II for fire police.

There is no way another fire house in our near future. We are still trying to get over this "Taj Mahal".

I'll hold my opinion on it till I meet you in person.
