Greetings! While it has been a quiet wildfire season in California, there has been quite a bit of activity as far as fire apparatus deliveries. Our first visit was to sunny Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. Recently placed into service was Truck 1. Truck 1 is a 2010 Spartan Gladiator 103 foot tractor drawn aerial. Just down to the south, the Ventura County Fire Department has begun placing into service several 2011 American La France Eagle Pumpers. One of the new engines was delivered to Medic Engine 52 which serves the east end of Camarillo. The new engine has a 1500 gpm pump with a 500 gallon water tank. Also in Ventura County, the Federal Fire Department at the Point Mugu Navy Base has placed into service a new Pierce Hazardous Materials unit designated as HazMat 72. In San Luis Obispo County, the San Luis Obispo City Fire Department has placed a Pierce 100 foot tiller based on an Arrow XT chassis in service as Truck 1. Finally, in Monterey County, the Greenfield Fire Department placed into service a 2009 Spartan Gladiator pumper as Engine 8411 as well as a Ford F-450 brush patrol unit. That's all for now. May you all have a festive and peaceful Thanksgiving.
