Based on what I've seen, I think it signifies a lower overall height. T25 cab sits a little lower than a regular Seagrave cab and you can tell that the back compartments also seem smaller.
That new style gold(?) shaded by blue(?) cab lettering always looks out of focus in pics..........

Drove that piece many times while at Abingdon. Very unique driving being that low to the ground.

I wouldn't like to drive that rig. You wouldn't be able to see over the SUV's that refuse to get out of the way, despite the lights and siren.
Where are the maintainance shops for Baltimore and Baltimore County. Thank you. Dick Logan
Baltimore City's shop is on Key Highway in South Baltimore about 6 blocks from 26 engine/6 truck.

Engine 44 / Truck 25 is a very old firehouse located in the Roland Park section of Baltimore. Truck 25 has typically been assigned a low-profile apparatus so that it would make the tight vertical fit into that fire station. I remember growing up in that area and T25 operating a mid-mount 85' (?) open-cab Peter Pirsch ladder and after that one of the rear-mount single axle ALF Ladder Chiefs was used before the Seagraves started showing up for duty as T25.
Thank you Chad
Going to the firehouse expo next week. I know in the past that they different companies come down on saturday to the steadman station for photos. Will they be having them coming down this year.

Yes, they will. But this year it's going to be after the show closes between 5 & 9 P.M, at the Box 414 Museum on Gay St.
