I may very well had made an error. It was many years ago and might have crossed my thoughts. For any problems I am sorry. LOL Old age must be starting...



Thank you for double checking my notes.

No problem! I used to be quite the Philly Buff back in my youth and when I lived in the city.........I always knew D2 to be quartered at E70's house. I was just wondering if/when D2 moved to 72's, because the reason he was at E70 was access to the Blvd........

The main reason Deputy 2 is located at E70 is for access to "The Boulevard"- which can get him to pretty much any part of the second division within minutes...........[/quote]







That would be Foulkrod and Langdon. If you were driving down Foulkrod and didn't turn, you would end up in the engine bay of 70's.

Frank,

This rig was not purchased by the Philadelphia, PA Fire Department. The PFD never purchased any rigs manufactured by Sanford.

Frank,

One of these does exist. It is a 1956 model that was formerly assigned to Ladder 4. The private collector donated it to the Fire Museum but because of storage problems they were forced to sell it. It was purchased by a collection of Maxim apparatus in, I believe, upstate New York.
