[Anesti 329]

Out of curiosity I know They Had the pierce dash that is now Rescue 54, while the current one is a Spartan. what did they use before the pierce and how long has  rescue 4 been in service?? has it ever been staffed on a full time bases before, will it ever be staffed down the road??

NRFD had a large Blue and White Civil Defense Rescue that was one given to Cities by the Federal Government in the 1950's it carried the latest WW2 equipment well into the 70's . It was a crazy looking apparatus and not that functional for everyday running.

This was followed by a Dodge Ram van which was sinfully overloaded and limited in what it could carry.

 Then the Pierce can and things got a lot more professional.

  Due to financial situations over the years the Rescue could not be manned on a regular basis, however all this may change after Jan 1, 2019
