The mirror in the picture is from a schoolbus that was misdirected up the street while Engine 9, 56, Tower Ladder 2, Car 1, W25, H2, H3, the TCU were going in the other direction- ruinning a great show for folks on the west side of the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> As much as I respect them, the Boston Police Department were way too liberal when it came to street closures this year. Have to wait until 2008 to get another chance to photograph those rigs <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Question was this rig the only one Boston bought? Also what was the reasoning for the purchase and lack of others being purchased?
Thanks in advance.

The Sutphen Quint was bought as a quick fix during the massive cutbacks of companies in the early 1980's after the passage of Prop 2.5, which decimated fire and police depts across the state.
It was assigned to Engine 20 in Dorchester. Never really worked well for the BFD. Kind of an expirement that was doomed to fail from the first. I have more info about this some where I will try and locate it and post it.
Hope that this helps
