Here are a few demos

Great shots Seth. I got alot of pics/video from the event has will. If you want I can post some pf them?

Here's District Command 2.

2011 Ford F-350/Frazer

I was told today that there are 4 more on order and they will be in 2012.

Thanks Seth.

Finally! I rode out with the City Of Taylor Quint 1 last month, and they had a Brush Truck from Weir and Coupeland on loan.

Also, due to the drought and brush fire situation, the brush truck responds on every call, with one of the firefighters assigned to Quint 1.

Wildfire for those not from the area, a custom Brush Truck manufacturer located in the DFW Metroplex area.

Next to be replaced is Quint 1, the 1999 Pierce 75' Quint that is the only remaining rejected truck of a multiple order from Houston FD.

They also have a new Chief with a great backround who is from the DFW area, and is very progressive, so you're going to see a lot of things changing. They are already installing MDT's tied to the Williamson County CAD system.

Thanks for the photos, Billy!

Taylor has just placed these two brush trucks (Brush 1 & Brush 2) in service. They are 2011 Ford F-450/Wildfire with a 125 GPM/300 water tank. Also black over red is now Taylor's new paint scheme.

I believe that all the District Commander got/getting one. I saw today that District Command 2 got one. (Sorry no pics). I have no clue what the plains are for the DC pick-ups?

In service 11-14-11

I think it would look alot better if they would have painted the top of the box to match the cab.

I agree ATCEMS does have some of the best looking units around. I think that the blue over yellow is alot better then the white over yellow is/was.

I've always thought ATCEMS has some of the best looking units around. Not a fan of yellow but the blue and yellow mix so well.

Here's a shot of the old District Command 6. It's now a reserve unit.

Firefighter/EMT

Just wondering here... is this a Firefighter/paramedic position or just Firefighter?

Not only do they have a new ladder they also got two new engines has will.

Engine 1 2010 Spartan Metro Star/Crimson, 1500/500

They do. There also becoming a major player down here in Texas has well.

Crimson Really Builds some really nice top of the line trucks.

Actually Seth ATCEMS was the first dept to run those. All the District Commanders ran them. Also District Command 6 is refurbished on a new 2011 Ford F-350 chassis. I do have pics of it before it was refurbished. If you want I can post them?

The first LODD happen today in Austin. Travis County Constable Precinct 2 Corporal Kevin Aigner die today while working the Steiner Ranch brush fire.

Thanks, Pete.

Seth, Billy, and all the rest of Central Texas, STAY SAFE!! I watched the video you posted Seth. I see Trophy Club is down there helping out.

Update on the Bastrop fire. It's now 40% contained. Also the DC 10 that came to help was never used! It's now in Houston working on the brush fires there.

Seth the Bastrop fire is now 30% contained. Also a DC 10 air tanker from California arrived last night and should be drops today.

Bastrop fire- still 0% contained.

Here's a video of some firefighter doing a controlled burn. Also some good apparatus footage.
