Effective this morning, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue has placed Tanker 607 and Safety Officer 603 from the Aldie Fire and Rescue Station into service. These units are staffed 24/7 by LCFR career personnel.
Tanker 607 features a 1500 gallon-per-minute pump and carries 3000 gallons of water. Currently, a reserve unit is serving as Tanker 607, and, although temporary, a Mack truck is once again serving the Aldie area. The Aldie VFD had at least one Mack fire apparatus in service from 1978 through 2005, with an all-Mack lineup between 1989 and 1996.
