How often does the Squads change apparatus? is it every 10th year or so like that engines or more rarely like the ladders or more often like the rescues? Cause it would look really nice with Yellow grill number with the new style...

I read somewhere that when E 165 gets a new engine, it will be squad style like their previous rig that became SQ8. Anyone know if this is true and if this could be the "new squad" on order since 165's current rig is ex-E 54's 2010 Seagrave?

I've been hearing rumors that squad 8 gets the new one and E165 will get their old truck back... to me that makes no sense given how much customization was done for debut of squad 8 but crazier things have happened.

Might they make the current SQ8 a spare once the new squad engine arrives? There is no "newer" spare available? Just the 2001? 2002? squads?

Squad spares are 1998-2002 era as they still have the rotating beacons. Most of the 7 squads had 2000 Seagraves. 18 had a 2002 and 61 had the 2003 with the mural on it. There might have been one or two companies that had the 1998s before being replaced by the 2013's. Anyone know what happened to 61s old truck? That was the newest of the group

old 61 is still around it just doesn’t have the flag on it. I believe SQ1 is using it now. SQ270 has old 18 which is slow as *hit lol

The new seagraves have started replacing the 2008 pumpers and as they come in they will continue to replace the 2008 and move into 2009 year. Not sure of what total number was in this contract.
