How long have they had Tender 16 for?

Quote:How long have they had Tender 16 for?They've had it for sometime now I would say they probably got it early to mid 90's.

What is the round thing on the back of Glendale's Seagrave Engine? Looks to be either a vent fan or a foam fan.

I think that's a foam generator (hi-ex?), from the days before pre-piped systems were common.

I believe you're right. I remember seeing one being used in a demonstration in the back of Station 29 for a bunch of kids on a tour of the station.

Glendale FD
Engine 26
Up until the mid to late 80's, Glendale ran 2 Two piece Engine Companies, Engines 21 & 26. Each with a Wagon and Pump. If a fire call was dispatched, both would respond, if it was an EMS run, only the Wagon went.
Wagon 26

What was there purpose with running both Wagon & Pump?
Southern California Small cities - Guest - 06-02-2015
Quote:What was there purpose with running both Wagon & Pump?The 2 engine companies cover Downtown and the financial districts of the city. Tactics were, that the Pump would sit at the hydrant and pump, while the Wagon would lay a line from the Pump and roll up to the fire scene and attack the fire.

Ummm...Dont most of us just lay a line from the hydrant to the fire? LOL J/K
Was it more of a pressure issiue with the hydrants? or was it more like boosting the flow to the fire from the pumper at the hydrant.

If I recall correctly, it was a means of boosting the flow. LAFD did/does use the same process with their Task Force Concept that was started as a result of the 1965 Watts Riots.
Hope that helps,

Interesting to see Glendale used the wagon & pumper concept. This was something that was popular here in the Mid-Atlantic, where the term Wagon is still used quite a bit, even though the two-piece engine companies were phased out years ago.
