Browsing some photos on Flickr I see that Richmond's Rescue 1 is now running out of Station 13:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/pearsaab/se...9174936024

 

I visited Richmond about a year ago and they were still running from Fire Station 1.  Have they been permanently reassigned to station 13?  What happened to Rescue 3? 

 

Any info would be appreciated.

Hello All!!  I currently am working on downsizing my collection a little bit.  I am hoping these items can find good homes where they can be enjoyed.  I have a large collection of Chicago FD photos.  The collection includes the following that were current as of about 4/5 years ago:

 

Every Firehouse in Chicago

Every Engine Company

Every Truck Company

Every Squad Company (Including ARFF)

Numerous Special Units

 

The collection also includes numerous departments with black over red apparatus as well.  There are well over 250 pictures in this collection.  If anyone is interested in the collection (4 Albums Total) please let me know and we will discuss pricing.  I would prefer to sell this as a collection as that is how I bought them.  If you would like a list and some pics of what is in each I can also compile a list.  Please let me know. 

 

Thank you,

 

Michael Bastian

 

I recently was given some negatives for the 1940's. In this group was an envelope marked "Huge Boxcar 08/14/47

 

The photo appears to have been taken at the Western Maryland Freight House in Cumberland, MD.

 

After asking for information on a Railway Preservation website, I was given the following information.

 

PRR Class X-30, 59861. Inside Length: 70'6" Inside Height: 10'0"
There was exactly one of these. It was used specifically to transport fire engines from American LaFrance in Elmira NY. Full width doors on the 'A' end allowed even the longest ladder trucks of the day to be carried inside.

 

Further searching found this photo of a couple of 700 series ALF's being unloaded in Cumberland.

Greetings, everyone. A question for the FDNY buffs out there. There's a former FDNY Mack currently serving Walden, Nova Scotia. It's a 1980 Mack CF611, additional details below. After its FDNY service, it was refurbed and sold to Chester Basin, Nova Scotia in the early 90s (possibly via Almonte Fire Trucks) and later sold to Walden.

 

So here's the question - in my notes, I have it as FDNY Engine 92. A friend researching the history of the truck hasn't been able to find anything indicating that this is the case - E92 apparently used an ALF. I have no idea where I got the E92 info.

 

Appreciate it if anyone has any idea where this truck served while in NY. Here are some serial numbers:

 

CF611F10 chassis

Chassis #2071

Pump #59415

Delivery date 6/18/1980

 

Much thanks,

Dean

 

 

This morning at 08:30 Aurora Fire was dispatched to a rollover cement truck with a person trapped on Smoky Hill Road at E-470.  A chopper & heavy rescue were placed on standby while units were responding.  Truck 14 started extrication, Engine 13 stood by with a protection line and provided patient care and Engine 10 was assigned to mitigate a fuel spill.

   

Around 3:30 this morning Engine 4 and Truck 29 responded to an automatic alarm from the Northwood-Appold United Methodist Church at Cold Spring Lane and Loch Raven Blvd. in northeast Baltimore. When they arrived they were greeted with heavy smoke blowing across the intersection and when they entered the church there was heavy smoke and heavy fire at the ceiling level. They set up a portable monitor pipe at the front door and asked that the full box assignment be struck out.

Shortly thereafter subsequent alarms were struck out up to the fourth.

Here's when I arrived, most of the roof was burnt off and the inside still fully involved:

On 12-27-13 a box was transmitted at 07:54 for a house fire at 2021 SE161 Ct.

The reponse was E31, E7, E29, E30, Truck 7, C3, C4, Gresham Truck 71 and C7.

It was B shift, so Gresham crews were manning E31. They reported fire showing.

Approaching on 162nd, I saw a large column of smoke from quite a distance.

Truck 7 was opening the roof, but there was too much smoke for a photo.



Engine 7 out for a breather.

Wichita Fire Dept crews were dispatched to a House Fire at 2010 N. Stoney Pt. around 11:30pm on 12/7/13. This address was only 2 miles from my home, so I made it out on the main road just to be passed by both units from WFD Firehouse 17. Engine 16 arrived on scene and gave fire showing from the rear of the house. Engine 16 was fire attack. Battalion 4 was command. Truck 4 was ventilation. Quint 21 was water supply. Quint 17 was search and rescue. Squad 17 assisted fire attack. Battalion 1 was safety. The fire spread very quickly to the attic and a lot of crews pulled ceiling to expose the fire. All searches were negative. Sedgwick County Squad 33/Engine 33 were also on scene.

 



 



 



 

I was pretty happy with my pics considering I havent been able to catch a working fire in almost 6 months. Had to dust off my camera just to shoot this fire.

 

 

Buffalo firefighters were dispatched at 0749 hours on December 23, 2013 to 267 Katherine Street for a structure fire. Arriving crews reported a 2 1/2 story occupied wood frame with smoke showing. There was heavy fire on the first floor in the rear. Crews worked hard opening up to find all the hidden fire. The fire extended to the second floor and attic. Crews used 4 1 3/4" handlines. An extra engine and ladder were dispatched. The fire was called under control at 0844.
