KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Rumbling fire truck engines began new chapter in Sembach history opened Oct. 1, as U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern assumed base operations at the former U.S. Air Force installation.
Civilian firefighters drove in Army fire trucks, replacing Air Force trucks, during and early morning event
that included an airman handing over keys to the fire house. Afterward, a new sign identifying the fire station
as a U.S. Army operation was fixed onto the building.
Sembach’s military history dates back to a French airfield following World War I. In 1951,
it became a U.S. air base. In January 2010, U.S. Army Installation Management Command, Europe Region, received Army approval to accept the transfer of the base, located just northeast of Kaiserslautern in the German state of Rheinland Pfalz.
The transfer of the base, now called Sembach kaserne, is primarily based on the future
Army stationing needs as required to support Army Europe transformation. In Dec. 2009, the 230th Military
Police Company relocated from Rhine Ordnance Barracks to Sembach. No final decisions have been made as
to what other organizations and units will permanently relocate to Sembach.
Cleared for public release. (Story produced by AFN Kaiserslautern, Spc. Lyndsey Farmer)

Palo Alto Fire Department responded to a two alarm fire at a residence on Loma Verde Ave following a fire that started in the rear garage/auto shop of a very crowded house. The resident was reluctant to leave feeling he had the situation under control, despite the rear of the premises being fully engulfed in flames. He was eventually rescued from the premises and transported to hospital. The fire had unusually large amounts of fuel both inside and outside the building, with neighboring houses very close to the structure there was a significant exposure threat.
In 2009 Palo Alto replaced 6 of their front line engines with new Pierce pumpers built on the Arrow XT chassis. Engines 1 through 6 are all new engines. The 7th engine based at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Fire Station is funded separately through federal dollars and wasn't replaced as part of this purchase.

A fire apparatus, fire engine, fire truck, or fire appliance is a vehicle designed to assist in fighting fires by transporting firefighters to the scene and providing them with access to the fire, along with water or other equipment. In some areas, the terms fire engine and fire truck represent different types of firefighting apparatus.
A modern fire engine is usually a multi-purpose vehicle carrying paid firefighters or volunteers and equipment for a wide range of firefighting and rescue tasks. Therefore, most fire engines carry equipment such as ladders, pike poles, axes and cutting equipment, halligan bars, fire extinguishers, ventilating equipment, floodlights, hose ramps, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and general tools. Many fire appliances are based on standard truck or lorry models with heavy duty suspensions, brakes, tires, alternator, transmission and cooling systems; audible and visual warnings such as sirens, horns, and flashing lights; and a two-way radio.
The fire engine may have several methods of pumping water onto the fire, such as passing water obtained from a fire hydrant through hoses or using a pumping "cannon" (also known as a monitor or deck gun); some trucks have an onboard water reservoir. Some fire engines may carry ladders to gain access to fires occurring in high-rise buildings and remove casualties, or hooks used to pull walls away to expose hidden fire or break windows. In some regions, a rescue unit is an EMS truck with tools to carry out technical rescues of people from traffic collisions or structural collapses.
Fire departments covering large metropolitan areas may have specialist appliances for dealing with hazardous material incidents. Some fire departments may utilise fire trains, fireboats or airplanes, depending on the local geography.

I had a blown head gasket, so i pulled the engine to make that easier. I had teh transmission rebuilt while the engine was out. I replaced all the suspension bushings, new lowered springs, shocks, and brake rotors.
