Engine 11
Engine 11 is a 2017 Seagrave Maradaurer II. It is the only SBFR fire company responsible for the entire residential island of Midtown.
Engine 11 mostly responds to EMS and Residential Fire Alarm calls. Credit for this engine: The Seagrave headlights design is based on one by Sven and Michael P, the Pump panel is based on one by Joshua B (I'm guessing on these credits...) and Michael P.

Motto: "Midtown Mammoths"
Engine 11s patch and motto is based off of a story from one night in the summer of 1971, when a stuffed woolly mammoth was being unloaded at the Midtown Docks, for transportation to the Natural History Museum in Old Town. The mammoth was put on a flatbed trailer but for whatever reason the parking break wasn't on and the trailer went zipping down the main street in Midtown. It was so dark residents initially thought a real life mammoth was loose, running around the city! Luckily there was no traffic as it was late at night and the mammoth continued peacefully rolling down the road until it reached a T junction and subsequently plunged into the San Brickardo river. Residents ran right up to Station 11 and alerted the firefighters of Engine 11, who once got onscene stated "the only thing you could see that hinted towards a mammoth being in the water was a tip of one of its tusks". After removing the mammoth from the water, the Museum decided it was a right-off, and they let Station 11 keep the tusk that they had first spotted, which now hangs in the Station House. Engine 11s patch depicts the famous story, and the firefighters have nicknamed the mammoth on their patch "Woolly", "Woolly the Runaway Mammoth".
