Well, from what firefighters have told me, Engine 13 is basically falling apart and last I heard bids were going out for the new truck, but probably by now the truck is already on order. Engine 7 is next to go after that, and then Engines 4 and 5. As for ladders, I heard that they might be getting 2 new ladders in the next few years, but thats still undecided. And as for rescues, Rescue 5 is the second oldest, but Rescue 6 (being the oldest) usually gets a "handed down" or "second hand" piece

When is Providence getting new apparatus? Out of the 22 engine/ladder companies, only 6 have apparatus newer than 10 years old.

I got my first scanner back in 1995. It came with a scanner guide. I lived in Dudley, MA and punched in 154.370 and was hooked until they went 800 MHz digital. Now you have to be either in the city or very close to the city. I could here 154.370 almost anywhere in southern ma near RI. Those were the days.

@jwdub75 It's real nice to hear that,sure wish the politicians & people of Providence could see this video,especially in light of the battle we're in trying to preserve what we have. I love my job,and this video only reinforces that all the more. Thanks for the post.

Here's hoping Ladder 4 didn't loose their rig in that fire at the end!

This is bullshit PR for the fire dept, how about enforcing fire codes like the Station nightclub? You let packed concerts go on there for years with no sprinklers lol what an embarrassment of greed
