Station 11 A-Shift has a new ride this evening. Today at approximately 1633hrs, Truck 11, shop number 8556 went out of service and the new Platform 11, shop number 841116; a 2016 Pierce Velocity 100' aluminum Tower Ladder and with a Waterous 2000 GPM pump, officially went into service as the new “Truck 11”. Crews spent the better part of today swapping out tools and getting the truck outfitted to put into service. The Truck Crew honored a time honored tradition within the fire service dating back to the horse drawn era, when crews would have to hand push their steam pumpers into their stalls after every fire, by washing down their new rig and pushing in its “bay.” The #WorkingTruck made her first official 911 run of many to come at 1713hrs.
