CFD Apparatus status discussion (Non-Radio Information)

[ENGINE_4]

I'm a little confused. Is CFD running unit E5504 as an engine or an aerial? I got pictures of it today and it is marked as 16 Engine. I know it has been identified as both in the past.

I'd say its running as both (Quint) I was in Station #16 three weeks ago, and it was running with a crew of 4 firefighters.. CFD seems to be switching back and forth with between Engines and Aerials with all of there Aerials that have pumps and water on them.......... This could be a switch of man power... like have the Quint at #16 run as a Engine and move the current Engine #16 to a different hall, etc... But I could be wrong...

The new Oshkosh trucks are here. Red 1 was just brought across the Tarmac to the station.

I wonder how much walk around room will be left in Station #13 once these new Strikers are inside

It appears CFD Engine #20 (E4504) - 2004 Spartan Gladiator / Superior (1250/500/30A/CAFS) (SN#SE 3274) actually caught fire and wasn't in motor vehicle collision as I first thought... IT appears Spartan Chassis refurbished they existing truck.. Pictures of Engine #20 are on Spartan Chassis, inc. FaceBook page

Thanks for the info. Just checked out the pictures. When did the fire in the cab happen and what caused it?

Cheers,
JR

Sorry JR, I don't have those answers for you. But I do remember the truck being pulled out of service a few months ago.. Obviously the truck has been repaired, and should now be back in the city

Station #41 in Seton is up and operational. You can see it on CFD's website, the address is 3790 Seton Dr SE

 

[ENGINE_4]

Can anyone confirm that Station #41 is running an Engine and Quint? Station #41 is currently labelled as having :
- 41 Aerial (E5308) - 2008 Spartan/Smeal quint (1250/480/25A/105') (SN#805030)
- 41 Engine (E3900) - 2000 E-One Cyclone II / Superior pumper (1250/500/15F)
Thanks in advance

That's the Engine they are running, but I can't confirm the Aerial as there hasn't been any activity for it that I've heard.

 

[MrVelvet]

Major maintenance day? Major training being conducted? Other?

A lot of Engines are out of their areas today and so much so, there aren't enough Squads to cover them all. For example - Air Light 7 is covering 1's area, Hazmat 4 for 4, Rescue 8 for 20.

Anyone know what is happening today?

I can't say what happened that day.. but thats pretty serious when theres not enough Squads to cover for Engines.
Do you know if Engine #27 still has there Quint and is still in Station #22?

Although it doesn't get much action, heard Aerial 41 get sent out this morning, so yes - an Engine and an Aerial there.

I know for sure Quint #19 (Q0611) has moved to Station #41 and has become #41 Aerial.. There is a second truck in Station #19.. it looked like a Spare Engine.. Possibly a Squad? Does some one know if #24 Station has a Engine and Aerial or are they just running a Quint as an Engine still? anyone here #27 Engine on the air these days?

Sorry that upload is horrible.. I will try to upload a better picture with other CFD apparatus pictures later on..

 

[MrVelvet]

19 still has an Aerial and based only on radio IDs it shows as the mini-Bronto from 17.

 

[ENGINE_4]

Thank you Mr.Velvet!!! I wonder what other changes CFD has made with mini-Bronto's, Quints and probably the Bronto and Platform #16. Here is Quint #41

 

[MrVelvet]

And yes, Engine 27 is still out and about.

 

[MrVelvet]

Again, strictly from radio ID it looks like 24 is still running the Quint.

Rescue #26 has been involved in a MVC. Hopefully everyone involved will recover quickly and the Rescue can return to service soon Woman rushed to hospital after fire engine, truck collide - Calgary | Globalnews.ca
