Is the water supply system in that bad of shape that it is making a daily impact on your operations?
Be safe.[/quote]The situation is always improving Larry, but at this time Engines 53 & 55 are staffed 24/7 with a driver.

It was an International that was disposed of in 2007 and replaced by the Peterbilt. Any info, Cosgrove? What year was the International?

Wrecker S-725
February 2002 image, apparatus is facing north on 5th St. at K St. NW (scene of accident with RS-1 reserve piece).
For those who care I believe the wrecker above is now located in Elkridge Md at a towing company along Rt. 1.

According to the label on the back of a photo in my collection, it is a 1994 International S2574/Burtek 30-Ton wrecker...
I knew as soon as I posted that, that I was wrong and they had the traditonal style DC swing open doors.
DCFD E-24 today at the DCFD Training Center during the IFBA National Confernce. Sorry no further info.
