Correction, this is one of 3 water supply engines staffed with a driver only. E53WS, E54WS, and E55WS are all staffed with a driver only.

[Ladder 68]

Aside from E53WS, E54WS and E55WS staffed with a driver only, are there other Water Supply rigs and where are they quartered?



Thanks in advance.

This was a 65 footer and stayed in service until 1956. It was sold to a junk dealer! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
