New Shoes for Tanker 519
Written by Michael Breen   
July 23, 2007
  
   
This week Tanker 519 received some TLC from members of the Alpha Fire Company. One of 519's wheel covers had fallen into a state of disrepair recently and it was felt by the membership and administration that painting the wheels was a good option versus finding an obscure replacement cover. 519 received a thorough cleaning inside and out along with a coat of wax to go with her new painted rims.  The 1991 KME International served as Alpha's only tanker until it was complimented with the arrival of 520 in early 2005. 201_1831
