Those of you who have been nice enough to post vintage photos of DCFD...
Does anyone have any pictures of Truck 1's Pirsch tiller? I believe it was a 1961 model. A coworker of mine is the current owner of the truck and is about to start repainting the unit. He wants to make it as authentic as possible when he reassembles the truck after repainting. The Waukesha still runs great and the ladder is operational.
Thanks in advance!

Duane Troxel took a photo of a 1961 Pirsch 100' TDA in 1973, but it was assigned to Ladder 11 at that time. It was Pirsch serial #2527. A rather ugly enclosed cab had been added by then.

For DCFD purists -- a couple minor mistakes on a previous post on water supply engines: had to flip-flop 51 & 52 serials; E55 is S-128:
E-51 at E-??, S-138 2002 Seagrave TB40DD 78A78
E-52 at E-03, S-132 2000 Seagrave TB40DD 78991
E-53 at E-19, S-130 2000 Seagrave TB40DD 78992
E-54 at E-11, S-131 2000 Seagrave TB40DD 78996
E-55 at E-05, S-128 2000 E\-One Cyclone II 121937
E-56 at E-16, S-148 2003 Pierce Dash 13927-03
Photo is Water Supply Engine 52 in Engine 3’s house.

Do both pieces go on water supply runs or does everyone go on the water supply?
DCFD Photos, old or new - Guest - 07-23-2009
Looks like Engine 52 was ex-engine 7?

What is the difference in numbers? The 50 series are water supply rigs? What are the other number breakdowns?
Thanks in advance.

S-353 and S-354 were the two Pirsch trucks purchased between 1962 and 1965, one of which I believe was Truck 1. T-11 had the all red 1961 Pirsch. The photo is Truck 1 c.1977, vicinity of 2nd and F St. NE

Any chance you can post whats assigned to the 60-70-80(seen 1 or 2 in the warehouse) series rigs?

Water Supply units operate as a two-piece engine company. Upon receipt of an alarm requesting a Water Supply Engine, the regular engine company assigned to that station will split their personnel; one firefighter and the officer will respond on the regularly assigned apparatus (i.e. Engine 3) and the remaining two firefighters will respond on the Water Supply Engine (i.e. Engine 52). The two engines respond in tandem and retain their original radio designation (i.e. Engine 3 and Engine 52).

Water Supply Engine Companies may be staffed with driver only or fully staffed depending on the needs of the Department. This photo shows a day when three water supply engines (drivers only), a mutual aid tanker from Dunkirk, MD, and a battalion chief made up a Water Supply Strike Team to augment structure fire assignments in northeast DC during a period of low water pressure. A CSU unit filled out the manpower requirements. Photo on Engine 12’s apron, 2007

When extra personnel are available citywide in periods of low annual leave usage they are used to staff water supply engines and put additional companies into service. This greatly facilitates regular companies going out of service for training by having these extra fill-ins, not to mention reducing the workload.

In the event that companies housing water supply engines are not available to respond with them, another engine company is dispatched to respond to the quarters of the water supply engine and pick it up, responding then as a two-piece company.

Beautiful...
So all 50 series pumpers are water supply pumpers. Are these rigs used as reserves or are the 60 and 70 series only used for that?
Thanks in advance.

E30 never had a Pierce wagon, although E8 did, and that wagon is in E30's quarters as a reserve (E62). The image of the 8-ball stickers is still recognizable even though the stickers have been removed.
E30 went from one Seagrave wagon into another Seagrave wagon.[/size]
