Thought this was interesting. Old Engine 7 a 1922 Ahrens-Fox from the Fire Museum of MD with tons of people on it including of course Mr. and Mrs. Steve Heaver (Owners of the FMoM) in the 100th Anniversary Parade of Roland Park in 1991.
The BCFD repainted a old Fuel Truck Red and is the Fuel Truck that responds on multi Alarm Fires to keep the Rig fueled up on the firegrounds



TANK WAGON # 1

1983 International/Fuel Trk
MAC 6 (Medical Assist Car)

2010 Ford Escape



This unit was put inservice a peek time s to take the stress off of suppression companys and runs medical locals.

2 personals staff the unit.
Sam,

Tim, yes it's the same wagon. Definitely looks more like a fire department vehicle now!

Some more old scans I'll add.



Truck 21 on a 4 alarm fire at Dundalk & Holabird Avenues during the Firehouse Expo of 1998 when they ran a 1982 Seagrave tiller which originally was assigned to Truck 16.

Guest

Truck 15 sitting at the fire academy about ready to be junked in August, 2000 also ran a 1982 Seagrave tiller identical to T 21.

Guest

Reserve Engine 68 ex E 55, a 1974 Seagrave junked in Spring 1998 behind the Key Hwy Repair Shop.

Guest

Reserve Engine 63 ex E 26, a 1978 Seagrave which Engine 44 was running at the time in Fall, 1997.

Guest

Reserve Engine 68 ex E 53 1982 Hendrickson Grumman, Engine 42 2000 Pierce Saber, and Truck 7 1994 Seagrave in front of Engine 42's Quarters in Lauraville in Summer 2000, just before T 7 was disbanded.

Here are in this order shown here: Engines 53, 2, 20, and 43 all brand new before going in service during the 1998 Medals Day Ceremony across from the War Memorial Building.

Guest

Engine 14 when they ran a 1990 Sutphen after fueling up at Fallsway. Circa 2001.

Guest

Truck 6 when they ran a 1987 Spartan LTI tiller. Same time and place as E 14.

Guest

Another shot of Truck 6, this time in front of Steadman Station (Eutaw St. side) back during the good old days of the Firehouse Expo photoshoot. I think this was in 2000.

Guest

Right behind T 6, Here was Truck 23 when they ran this lovely unique 1974 Seagrave tiller that was rehabbed in 1991. The rig originally started out its life in the FDNY as Ladder 6 in Chinatown. Then from there it went to Hyattsville VFD in PG County, MD which when I believed was rehabbed since it stayed their color scheme since then. Then it went to the Rivera Beach VFD in Anne Arundel Co. In 1999 Rivera Beach sold it to the BCFD where it became Truck 23 until replaced in 2001. The rig then went to the Reserve fleet as Truck 35 until it was junked around 2005 or 06.

Guest

Here is Truck 25 when they ran a 1988 low-profile Seagrave rearmount ladder testing and training behind Poly Western High School on a foggy morning in Spring 2001.

Guest

Engine 21 when they ran a 1987 Spartan FMC sitting at the Rotunda Shopping Mall in Hampden in Winter, 1995.

Last one for tonight. Will try to post more tomorrow or this weekend.

Engine 21 in front of quarters on Roland Avenue just after they recieved a hand-me-down from Engine 47 when they went into a squad company in 2003. The rig is a 1994 Pierce Saber and was replaced in 2008 with a brand new wagon for 21 Engine. It's now in the reserve fleet as Engine 64.
Kurt, great new posts. Some real beauties.
