Nice! Other than the two Emergency Companies (medic units, they do about 6,000 runs EACH per year) Engine 4 is the busiest company in the city, as it protects the downtown district. This will replace a Pierce Quantum engine that 4's is running now out of Headquarters on Grand Ave.

The rig looks really nice! Hopefully I'll be able to get a look at it in person next time I'm downtown.

Yup. I wonder if the Quantum will go to another Engine, like 5's or into Reserves. I'm surprised to hear no word on a new Truck 1 in the near future. I'm guessing it's pretty old and all three other Truck Companies in the city have been replaced recently.

Truck 1 is up for replacement soon. I've heard rumors but nothing confirmed yet on its replacement or time frame.

[sfrd18 360]

Engine 4 is now at the NHFD shops and should be in service any time now.

[SageVigiles 1,194]

New Marine Unit should also be in soon.

[sfrd18 360]

NHFD New Engine 4 in service as of 10:30hrs., 7/5/12.

Good luck men.

Went on it's first call to 17 Hillhouse Ave shortly after being placed into service today.
