According to their website, they own at least 3 firetrucks that are currently in operation. I would assume that they already owned at least a couple of these trucks on 9/11, since two of them were built in the 70's. They also show 5 pieces of retired equipment, but it's hard to say when they trucks were 'retired' if it was before or after 9/11. You would think in a rural community like Shanksville, that they would have sent out everything they had when they got the call that a passenger jet was down? My local fire dept sent out at least 8 trucks to my house last year, that all arrived at about the same time, when we called for a minor fire in the attic.
