St. Elizabeth's Hospital FD had a couple of ambulances that were similar to that. Could this be one that was re-lettered after DCFD took over at St. E's?

Doubtful. DCFD took over SEH in late 80's. That bus would not have lasted a week. And I never saw one re-lettered. in that time.
Stay safe, Brothers.

The DCFD did in fact take over St. E's FD . It was under the staffing command of the 3rd BFC. It was a great place to hide extra bodies. I remember that we were abelto have 4 on the engine , 4 on the squad and 2 on the ambulance plus some spare bodies. It didn't last long due to squabbaling about the ranks of the St'E's senior command officers.

And then it became E24 when E34 was disbanded.

Many thought that they would be able to transfer into the DCFD, but that was never offered to them. When Engine 34 was disbanded, the remaining St.E's Firefighters remained in DOH as Fire Inspectors, serving St.E's grounds on a 9-5 schedule. It was a great detail, a good group of guys and no night watch!!!!! Once again, it's another example of how the DC Government continues it's tradition of screwing over good firefighters!!!!!!!

Quote:Check out the IH ambu in post #3351. Don't recall them at all.What you see is the Original Moble 25, the first ALS unit placed i/s by the DCFD, at the quarters of Engine 4. Ret. Captian Sherman Powelson was it the first class of DC Paramedics, which were a mixed group of civilian EMT's and DCFD Firefighters. If I remember it was a class of about 20. The DCFD took a lot of flack from the media in the early 1970's as both Maryland and Virginia suburban Departments (most notably BCCRS and Arlington County, VA) were providing Paramedic Service, and the TV show "Emergency" brought Paramedics into everyone's living room on Saturday night. The DCFD was operating low roof Ford and Chevy Vans, which were not DOT compliant.

This I think is an x-St. Elizabeth's engine, a 1966 IH R-185/FTI 750/300, running as a spare pumper.
Shot at fire scene sometime in 1988, photo processed 1/1989.

It was the reserve Engine at St.E's at the time of the take over. The DCFD shops repainted the rig, but the powers that be (Frank Tremel, iirc) elected not to put it in serve as E-11's pumper, as initally envisioned. It never entered reserve service, either, but remained as a "PIO rig" for various Public Relations activities for a short period of time prior to being disposed of when DC eliminated the Pumpers in 1991.

I'm thinking that's an old canteen on the right?
