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

Beautiful photo. I was a fan of the BFD White and Red before the Omaha Orange craze. The Sutphen looks great with the rear compartments repainted red and the addition of a Q Siren.

Some BCFD apparatus shots I grabbed on a 2nd alarm fireground (Box 50-7) the other day on the 5500-blk of O'Donnell Street (Southeast Baltimore City) at the Roadway Inn.

Check out the mud marks on the double rear axle tires!
Did they take the company accolades off the officers side doors citywide? I haven't seen any on a lot of the recent apparatus photos. I always thought that was a cool idea that Baltimore proudly displayed to the public.

When an apparatus goes from front line into reserve service the "unit citations" are taken off the door and transferred to the new first line piece.
I scanned some old City photos .
