I didn't see anything on their web page. http://www.tacomafiredepartment.org In their auditor report, there are some reserve and old apparatus stored at the old station 12 (2316 E. 11th St) http://www.tacomafiredepartment.org/files/AuditReports/Buracker_files/04Chapter3.pdf |

It hasn't moved in 3 years. People buy and refurb old Aerialscopes all the time, so it's nice to know that the City of Tacoma treats assets that way... |

Does anyone know if Tacoma Fire still has both hovercraft fireboats? The other day while I was in Tacoma, I only seen one at the station on the Thea Foss Waterway (E."D" St. and E.11th St.) and the station on Ruston Wy. looked empty (possibly closed). |

They still have both of them. Neither are staffed. They pull a crew of an Engine to staff them. What a waste. BTW, they are surface effect ships. Not hovercraft. :D |

One was fully staffed up until Initiative 695 hit and caused the city to cut back on everything. Thank you Tim Eyman! And I believe TFD keeps most of its reserve equipment at the shops. |
