Engine 106 goes on her Maiden Voyage

Early Sunday morning around 7am, The Independents were called out for a minor alarm for a wire that was burning on a poll. Ordinarily this would be a simple call but not on 7/29/07. Being that E-106 was just put in service the day before, this could only mean one thing. The First Ride on E-106 to a true fire call. Many drivers rushed down to drive the rig, but in the end John A. Marshall III drove E-106, Independent truck # 11 to its first call, which ironically was also the Independent Fire Company's one hundred-sixth call for the year.
