Glendale new rigs

[Engine 185]

  is Glendale geting any new engines and what mfg. is going to build them ?

Glendale typically updates its fleet with a few apparatus a year. I personally don't have any specifics yet. I do know there is a new Ladder Tender under construction to replace LT152. Not sure on the completion date or manufacturer. I saw one pick and it kinda looked like either a Ferrara Inferno, or possible a Spartan chasis, but not sure. It has been rumored that 2 engines are being spec. for 2008 delivery. I have noticed that Engine 151 has been running it's reserve/retired engine for several months instead of the usual '04 Saulsbury Scorpion.

 I Believe Glendale has a larger SVI Haz Mat on order for HM157
 Do you have a pic of E159 ?

I'll have to search for some of my actual pictures on my old computer, but I did find a gentleman who run's this website, which includes in the link below pictures of Glendale's Fire Prevention Parade. If I remember right he is also a member of this board, but can't remember 100%! Anyways, there are apparatus from all over the valley on the page including Glendale. Glendale Engine 159 and Squad (RRT) 159 are about a third of the way down. You will also see the old LT152 that I believe should also be replaced with an identical SVI soon. And yes, I did hear of HM157 being replaced with another SVI. Its due for replacement, as far as I know it's the origial HM unit for the city.
