This was Air Unit 328, the only volunteer owned and operated air cascade unit in Baltimore County. I remember it being dispatched on hi-rise boxes in Towson when I was a teenager.

It was more than a cascade. There was a huge onboard air compressor behind those side doors. This shot shows it after rehab. Originaly, it had a open back area like many Swabs did.
