Engine 23, 1974 Seagrave I loved hearing that Detroit wind out as they were grabing gears pulling against traffic out of Steadman.

Thought I'd post some old shots of 15 Truck since they sadly were just disbanded last Monday, July the 9th at 7:00-hrs.
Here is the 1982 Seagrave they ran sitting out on the street in their first due.

Their 2000 Seagrave brand new at the fire academy.

A 2005 Seagrave Concorde. This rig didn't last even a year and was later sold to Leesburg, VA I think... If not then it was T 21 (the twin to T 15) that was. Know one of them definitely went there though. Any corrections are welcome.

And 15 Truck's last rig they had... shot at the Fallsway just back in Spring of this year.
The latest I have heard is this rig is going to the fire academy to become a training tiller.

Dont wanna start a whole new topic but at its strongest point how many engines and ladders did Baltimore have. Going through the thread it seems every few years companies have been closed.

Loaned to Leesburg, Va. when their TDA had to be sent back to the factory. I understand Leesburg saw why Baltimore rejected it

Seagrave used the two Balto Concordes as loaners. One was just sold to Hebron, Pa. And the guys said they are happy with it. The other is still a loaner.

Shoop I know Bridgeton, NJ was also using one for an extended period of time and I noticed their Seagrave mid-mount tower ladder was for sale recently. Any idea on why or if they kept the Concorde?

58 engine companies, 4 of which were fireboats Engs 16, 39, 48 and 49 and Eng 1 which was the rescue company, that makes 53 land based engine companies. There were 30 truck companies. Two of the hose companies 3 and 5, could act as engines if needed as they were equipped with pumps. In June 73 Engine 1, became Rescue 1 and a new Engine 1 was organized at the quarters of Truck 11 using Hose 3s rig. Hose 5 became Engine 59 at about the same time moving from Engine 34 to first Engine 32 and then to Steadman. So most land based engine at one time seems to be 55. Engine 59 was disbanded by July 77 followed by Engine 9 in Apr 78. From there the department went downhill.

Those were the days. Baltimore could have a 9 alarm fire and handle it with companies still available. Now a 3 alarm goes out and they start calling for help.
