For anybody keeping track of the DC Roster.  Former Truck 12, and then 390 made its way onto Govdeals.  It is a 1998 Seagrave 100' TDA.

Shoop, when you have a chance could you please email me your most recent DCFD roster?

 

Thanks,

Engine 8's pumper on the hydrant, NW corner of 15th and D Sts. NE.  1978

 

This was the first pumper I ever drove on a response, shop number S-212  - Engine 8's 1966 Ward LaFrance.  The 66's Wards came in with Hale QLD 750 GPM two-stage pumps.  The previous Wards had Waterous pumps.  The rig had a 250-gallon water tank.

 

Some clues in this image: low residual pressure on the plug; weather that day; pumper's previous assignment; DCFD's standardized compartment; ...maybe more.

That didn't take long to go up for sale.

Interesting. These are actually being kept on DC property in Anne Arundel County.

Engine 9's 2003 Seagrave, shop number S-142, 1400 block of 12th St NW

DCFD is about to receive 5 new Pierce engines. They are on the Pierce Flickr site. Engine 1, 2, &10 plus two not numbered. Anybody seen or heard about their Spartan Tillers?

Engines 1, 2, 10, 13, 20, and 22. (4) Spartan ERV Tillers coming at some point. Also, Atlantic made mention that more Pierces are coming soon.

Try 6 new Pierce engines. 1,2,10,13,20,22

And 4 more yet unassigned

Thanks! I saw the 5 on the website, glad to see they are finally getting some new units! Spartan is also delivering tillers to Montgomery County. 2 if I remember correctly. 

The Glen Jr. is out for a rehab, I know it's getting hull repairs and paint. not sure about the rest.

And Fire Boat 3 is a Metal Craft twin outboard aluminum hull, but is back in Canada for a punch list fix.

The John Glenn is getting a complete overhaul.  Will be like "new" when it is done.

New pumpers!

Engine 19 repairs underway at Pierce from Bay District Volunteer Fire Department website!

Is there a story here?

I suppose there is.......sort of.  Philadelphia ladder truck not accepted by PFD has been purchased as built by the DCFD.......

Not much difference between what we order and what they order................
