I hope you all like pics of TL 3 as that is what they used to get the guy down. It is the only tower in DC

A lot of their ladders have green lights.
Green = ladders
I note the rescues don't have blue lights

TL 3 is a very sharp truck

In that last pic, they were off loading the victim.

Hmmm looks like Marion Barry thieved the horn off of Truck 3 to sell for crack.

Ok lets talk on a topic that has not been discussed much here. AMBOS
At several times in its life, DCFD bought its ambos off the GSA schedule and it showed. Other times they were vans in the stars and bars and at other times vans with the box backs like they run today.
OK let me see if I can do this. Maybe Kevin, you can come up with pics
Around 1985 they were GSA type ambos with an orange stripe van type
Then came vans in the stars and bars
Then came box back vans in stars and bars, some of these had red/blue lights.
Then box backs w/ orange stripes
Then box backs with red stripes
Then red/blue stripes
Then todays white over red.
Here we go. Ambulance 16 responding to the tech rescue using a little alley action.

Interesting factoid, DC FEMS medics are not allowed to dispense narcotics unlike any other medic in the DC area. That said, the ones I ran into were very competent.

More. Oh these lil fellas have one heck of a siren on em
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 11-18-2007
This is it for the ambos. Let me get some drink and we will return with the new EMS supervisors vehicle

They fixed this up with all kinds of LEDs
DCFD EMS Supervisor
Note, no markings on the car. Any of the DC guys know why no identifiers????
Check out the LEDs in the rear by the license plate
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 11-18-2007
Now check out the grill LEDs in the front.
