Nope this would be Durham's with the compartmentalized custom cab and electric top mount pump - Washington Engine 7, the bumper pumper has a dump valve in the rear with a small hose bed that is really high IMO. Washington seems to like them, I personally think they have a place in rural water supply.





This is the rear end of Washington E-7



Getting a little off topic, but here's a close up of the pump on the bumper. This was shot a the [url="http://www.fireservicephotography.com/07_2008/070408/index.html"]2008 Amenia, NY parade[/url].

Thanks, Ed, I didn't word my edit very well. After I asked the question I went to GK and looked. Thanks for the comparison shot, nice looking rig as well.

RIP Wagonman!

Here's a real simple setup, one bed,one size.

I think T. Cosgrove Jones, among others will recognize this rear end...

Cudos Doc; a fitting tribute to our Wagonman. His influence will be sorely missed here, May Godspeed, rest easy Brother Herrick.

My God does that look nice. Wish my guys could make it look that good. We just cover it with a tarp to hide the mistakes!!

I second that, but even throwing a tarp on top doesn't hide all the mistakes... I commend the guys who packed that hosebed, shows a lot of pride and professionalism!

All of our rigs have their hoseloads packed like that! If it doesn't look like that when we get back off a run, they pull it off and rerack it!!

That just show's pride! My crew gets ticked at me, but I like the hose on my rig to be racked right. Some of the other co. officers don't care. After a fire my crew knows that if the hose isn't right when we come on shift, it gets pulled off and re-racked the right way. Keep up the good work.

Snug Harbor Engine 16. Personally I like the length of yellow LDH in between the blue, as it lets the driver know when he has half his load laid out. Snug Harbor is part of the Union Fire District in South Kingstown, RI, and the engine is a new addition to the department:
