CFD Reserve Squad

There has been some recent discussion on a thread with multiple comments regarding the current status of Engine 23’s former apparatus, the 2000 American LaFrance Eagle that was previously in service. It turns out that the pump was removed and replaced with a large compartment, allowing the unit to be used as a spare squad piece. Jack Connors recently spotted this reserve squad unit operating as the second piece for Squad 5 during a call and managed to capture a few photos. He shared them so everyone can get a clear look at how the unit now appears. The unit is assigned to shop number D572.

Tim Olk also came across this rig during a 2-11 alarm at 118th and Yale.

It seems like the city is continuing to adapt its fleet to meet current needs, and this repurposed unit is a great example of how older apparatus can still serve an important role. Whether it’s being used for training or as a backup, it’s good to see these vehicles staying in service. If you have any updates or additional photos, feel free to share them in the comments below.
