FYI DR, at the time of this photo this tanker was Tank Wagon 17-1.
A large part of my collection was purchased from a GOOD man, John Floyd. I give him FULL credit on his work, although I may miss something. Thanks John. Also Scott Mattson, Warren Jenkins, Michael Schwartzberg, and Mike Sanders. Thanks Guys.

Ahhh! Got me on that one, Tillerman! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_redface.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Icon_redface' />

Today we'll feature Bethesda FD apparatus, BFD was an independent organization until the late 80's and has been all-paid since 1939. There are 3 stations to serve one of the largest unincorporated cities in Maryland.

Sta. 6 is on Wisconsin Ave. just south of the downtown district.

This 1981 Alf Century 1500/500 was actually the reserve engine by 1992.

This 1967 Chev./Hahn 1000/750 engine formerly served at BFD #6, but by 1991 had been demoted to hauling air bottles at the fire academy.

I'm starting to feel bad in correcting you. "SALLY" (T6) is an 84. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_redface.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Icon_redface' />



Station 20 will be celebrating 50 years or dedication to the Oakmount and surrounding Bethesda communities this October.

Is "Sally" the rig that was refurbed in '97 and had a jumpseat enclosure added?

Yes she is, and STILL running as Truck 6. It's the oldest front line piece in Montgomery County, with over 100,000 miles. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wub' /> However it's just a door, there is no seat there.



Here she is this past winter.

I was under the impression that Truck Co. service at Station 6 had been discontinued. Clarification appreciated.



And for that matter, Tower service at Co. 20 is no linger correct?

The high command tells me, Seagrave doesn't build a TDA with a 500lb tip load and a pre piped water way to the tip. I know, I know why we... they need a per piped water way. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' />

No, we lost our new tower when it went to 8 to replace the one posted earlier. We will always have truck service at 6. We are slated to get a TDA in February <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Rolleyes' />



20, did in deed lose the tower, it went to 23 and their E\-One went to 35.

I had the Bethesda truck companies confused. Thanks for clearing that up.



Why did they move the Pierce tower from 6 to 8 and make it a stright truck? Target hazards?

<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Shrug' /> Straight truck? 8 has always had a tower unless it was out for rehab or work.



The 1986 Spartan/76 Pierce/85' LTI tower, was rolled and totaled.

I have 4 rosters from that era, and none of em agree; but that was sloppy research on my part...

This 1984 Seagrave 1500/500/40 ran from Silver Spring FD Sta. 19.

In 1991, driving in with a camera and taking pics of NIH apparatus was not a Homeland Security issue.

1st is their engine, a 1983 Pirsch 1250/500/40 with a 1989 Summit rehab/4 dr. This engine would later go to the District Heights VFD in Prince Georges Co.
