May 19, 2022: Engine Company 6 about to change to Squad 6 and here are initial photos of the new Ferrara pumper. Squad 6 is an Engine Company whose personnel are cross trained in Technical Rescue. Squad 6 is NOT an additional Company to the fleet. It does not increase the number of Companies or staff on duty. It is a name and assignment change for Engine 6 only. They will run as usual to fires as an Engine, following Engine Company SOG’s to guide them. Besides the usual Engine equipment, it will have a small complement of Rescue tools with a focus on water and rope rescue and will include hydraulic rescue tools. They will be dispatched and Team up with Rescue 2 for all tech rescue incidents such as: confined space, trench collapse, elevator/escalator entrapment, train derailments, man under, man in machine, etc. (which are such low frequency, high consequence events that it will be great to have a minimum of 8 members that already train together daily to make their job safer and more efficient). Squad 6 will cross staff a high-water vehicle labeled Squad 6a and will activate for flash floods & hurricanes. They will have access to a swift water boat and an RDC along with Rescue 2. All Squad 6 members including Squad Captain will continue to fill daily Rescue 2 vacancies due to leave or sick time absences. They will also cover Rescue 2 duties when MUSAR activates and can staff Rescue 1 if there’s a second rescue needed at scenes like a Rt. 80 pileup or other such large-scale incidents. This is versatile company.
2021 Ferrara Model
As per Chief Brian McDermott - "first Squad 6. It later became E2. FF1 did tons of customization like adding front suction. The photo shows it as E6 before we decided to go with the Squad concept.

June 20, 2023: First look at new Ferrara pumper being built for Engine 5 - it is one of 4 (3 pumpers and one Squad. This Squad has rescue style compartments on both sides. Delivery of Squad set for July. The final 3 pumpers are due for early September.

July 27, 2023: Arrival of new made by Ferrara 750/1750 Squad 6 to PFD -- -This pumper has rescue style compartments on both sides plus the interior of the crew cab. The new Squad 6 has a new and historically relevant logo. It will have light rescue equipment to work independently or support Rescue 2 and, of course, contains all the Engine Company hoses and appliances.
- Current Squad 6 has been re-lettered and will go to Engine 2 shortly.
- Current Engine 2 will go to reserve status so we can maintain 3 reserve pumpers; our sweet spot.
Engines 1, 4 & 5 are just about to begin production by Ferrara on their custom pumpers and should be in service late September or October. Until then, PFD can at least use old E2 Ferrara pumper as a quality front line piece and place one 2005 E-One back to reserve status. PFD will then retire two 2005 E-One’s upon receipt of the 3 new pumpers.
Ultimately the spares will be: 2019 Ferrara Pumper, 2015 Pierce Pumper (brand new motor from blown engine), 2005 E-One Pumper (brand new motor from Ida Storm).

August 2024: Story from 1st Responder News by writer John Malecky re the newer PFD Ferrara apparatus. The missing company he alludes to in the article was Engine Company 4 which closed in 1962 (when Slater Street FH was demolished to make way for Route 80).
