  2. Well, I'm currently one of the officers with Montrose. As I had previously stated, every position with the exception of 2nd assistant chief is correct on the website. Any questions feel free to pm me.
  3. That's correct. The 2nd Assistant Chief position is currently vacant. All of the other officer positions on the department's webpage are up to date.
  4. No, Rescue 51 is not due for replacement yet.
  5. The new rig just arrived at MFD this evening.
  6. Montrose FD will be replacing their current Utility 68 (1999 Dodge Ram 1500) with a 2016 Ford F-550/Marion body. Delivery expected sometime in the fall.
  7. From what I heard so far, Verplanck is looking to purchase a new tower ladder in the near future. Apparently, the articulating platform they currently have, did not suit their district as well as they had hoped.
  8. Verplanck is replacing their current Utility 29 (1983 Chevy). They're not getting a new rescue.
