[quote name='15K' post='288101' date='Mar 8 2009, 21:45 ']What about Engine 20.....Growing up I remember it having a stick.[/quote]
After the city shut down Ladder 27 (quartered with Engine 20) there was an outcry in the neighborhood. To placate the neighbours the city purchased a 1984 Sutphen 1500/400 67' quint (the only one we've ever had). It was in service for a few years and then disposed of.

When you say a few years you mean from 1984 to about 1997...
I think both "BAT 1" and "BAT 2" ...The Sutphens both had pumps and you could by a E One Tower with out a pump back then...
Also remember that "The Tower Unit" ran with 2 peices the 95' tower and the Squirt...which was E 7's former Ford Sutphen (1250 or 1500GPM)chassise that was referbed by Greenwood with a E One body and the squirt... The Squirt ran with the Tower in the way a Wagon ran with a Engine...

That is cool, thanks I always wondered about the Squirt. How where the riding assigments? Did the Squirt make every fire?
Thanks Stay Safe Brother, Rick

Boston E20 and a Houston Texas Ladder at the fire in Quincy. No ladders available in metro fire that day. Oh I left out the word "muster".

Wow.....1 of about 15 or 16 '86 Spartan/Conestoga/LTI 108' rigs with 250 or 300GPM pumps and 300 gallon tanks. Hottest running trucks ever in HFD in terms of the jumpseats. Ha.
Great picture.

I think that's Ladder 21's former 1989 E\-One. If you loom on the front right corner, just above or below the vehicle ID number is a code. ST=Spare Truck, SR=Spare Rescue & SP=Spare Pumper. I believe this piece has ST21 on the front corner.
