Wondering if anyone has or can get a close up shot of the company logo on E-12. I assume that it is located in the Haight Ashbury area as the logo appears to have a "steal your face" at its center.

The new trucks still have the green light up front but they are LED so they wont appear green until turned on.

Interesting that they go through the trouble of repainting them, even the wheels it appears, and putting all of the lights back on, just to be used by the Water Dept. Where will the KW go now?
Trav!

No idea where they will go. My guess is to the boneyard. The City and County has got their moneys worth out of them.

Can someone please tell me where the apparatus with the red curtains in the back ground is located at IE 1965 Ford Fire Chief Car. If this is at a show where are these beautiful pieces of apparatus located at.
Thanks

Quote:1965 Ford Chief's carJerome, if you mean the 1965 Ford SFFD Chief's "Buggy" post #99, the last information that I have is that it was owned by Dell Lindstrom of Minden, NV. He displayed it in Seattle's Occidental Park during a recent Fire Festival. I believe I have his contact information somewhere in my records.

These carried a small pump and tank in addition to rescue tools

These are some great pictures and it is great to see a department that still focuses on Tradition.

upstatefire: in the 90's it was a relief piece for the squads. Nellie Belle is owned by our historical society [along with many other rigs ]. Comes out during parades and other PR events. Shes still in great shape [ I drove it last week ]. Iconic piece of apparatus in our dept.

They carry large diameter hose and are able to pump water to various parts of the water system when there is an earthquake. They isolate the problem area and restore service to a larger area. I'm sure that someone else on here can explain this in depth more.

A fella I went to high school with here in Mississippi is on the job in SF, E24 I believe.

The water dept uses them when their testing the systems. Its pretty rare that we see them out in the field. The rigs Open Cab Mack are talking about is our hose tenders, not to be confused with what the water dept has. Yes, they can be deployed in the time of disaster but its not their primary role. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the clarification.
