Engine 81 arrived in Charlottesville today! It was delivered to Station 11 this afternoon by representatives from Pierce Mfg. Engine 121 and Engine 62 were also delivered. Engine 81 will be housed at Station 8 for a few days before it goes to Richmond to have all the equipment mounted. After that it will return and training the new pumper will begin. Thanks go out to all the apparatus committee members for their hard work!!!

Members of the STVFD apparatus committee are in Appleton, WI for final inspection of Engine 81. These last four photos were taken on December 10th as final preparations were being made to send the engine to the delivery floor. The graphics were cut and ready for application when the photos were taken. Asst. Chief Hahn is joined by Batt. Chief Rose and Captain Wiles for the inspection. They are also accompanied by members of ACFR for inspection of E121 (Brown, Elliott, and Walker) and members of Stoney Point VFC for inspection of E62 (Armentrout and McFadyen).
