And it was out of service being painted when needed most- during the Baltimore St. and Charles St. multiples.

That's right I ran into Oscar on the Charles Street Fire and I remember he said unfortunately our tank wagon is out of service being repainted red when we could really use it.

Thanks Truckman!
More coming now!
This was the last "full" double company in the city to have all white and orange apparatus in Summer, 2003. This is the Glen Avenue Firehouse in Mount Washington where they have been displaying an annual train garden for 55 years now.
Truck 1 at 1998 Medays Day Ceremony when they ran the 1994 Seagrave 85 ft snorkel. This rig is now Reserve Truck 51 or AKA "Water Tower 1" and responds on all 3 alarm fires and on up. It is manned by the men of Truck 1 today.
Engine 41 ran this 1982 Spartan Pirsch which originally was assigned to E 37. In 1988 41 Engine recieved it when E 37's house was disbanded. Photo was on Conkling Street next to E 41's quarters circa Spring 1996.
Reserve Engine 71, another 1982 Hendrickson Grumman ex E 20 & E 34, sitting in front of the quarters of Engine 40 and Truck 12 on Liberty Heights in Spring 2000.
Truck 15 when running a long-term reserve truck (RT 40) before recieving their brand new Seagrave tiller in 2000. This was a 1974 Seagrave tiller which originally was Truck 10 "The Gray Ghost" as they nicknamed it because of its gray cab.
Reserve Engine 60 when 51 Engine was running it, a 1986 Spartan FMC ex E 58. Both this and T 15 were on a working fire in Summer 2000, but cannot remember which street this was on.
Engine 41 from the same batch. There were ten new pumpers the city got in 2000. They went to E- 6, 19 (now E57), 29 (now RE62), 35, 40 (now E45), 41, 42, 50, 52, and 58.
Engine 30 sits at the infamous "Corned Beef Row" in Fall 2000, ran this 1993 Pierce Saber. The rig went to RE 60 and was junked just last year. This was the first Pierce Baltimore recieved, first Pierce to become a reserve, and first Pierce to get junked I believe.

They are still using the borrowed truck from another city agency.
