S-374, 1983
Just a couple more from DC...
Truck Co. 1’s 1983 Spartan/ Emergency One 135’ ladder. This 29-ton apparatus was 42’ huge and 11’ 9” high. It had a waterway piped to the 110’ level, equipped with a remote 1000 GPM tip. A powerful 8V-92TA Detroit Diesel (450 hp) powered the $388,500 monster.
According to Curt Elie (Fire Apparatus Journal, and Wagon Pipe renown) of the Friendship Fire Association, this was the third 135 footer built by E\-One, and the second to go in service: No. 1 went to Galveston, Texas, FD and No. 2 was a demo at the time.

' /> This nice posed shot of the 83 Spartan/E1 135ft. truck was taken during the 1984 PGFD convention, which was held at Laurel, MD.,VFD. A ballfield was used by a group of photographers, just down the street from Laurel's now former Montgomery ST. station.How many remember the unique Federal model #174 beacons? (went back and forth, not revolve). As Chief Byrne said , this rig was a beast!

I believe that model Beacon Ray was called the Reverse-o- Ray.

Thank you, Warren, for the good photo of Truck 1! Continuing the Truck chronology in this thread...
S-375 and S-376, 1987
Through a story too long to put here, what was originally spec’d out as tillers became a pair of rear mounts delivered in 1987 at $300,000 apiece. This was a new experience for the DCFD. The aerials were 110’, four-section aluminum construction. Unlike the Pirsch ladders, which were riveted, these were welded. They had no prepiped waterways, as did previous aerials.
Shop No. S-375 went to Truck 17 and S-376 to Truck 5 (very briefly, then T-15 for the rest of its life).
Photo is T-17 on the apron, September 1987.
