Typical DC ambulance in 1988.

An unusual number of injuries requiring backboards was the cause of a special alarm for Trucks 13 and 7 to assist E-10, M-9 and A-12 on this 2-car accident. Six people transported.



   



June 1992. A-10 with a new style box and E-27 responded for the crash on Kenilworth Ave. NE

Something you don't see everyday. Interesting to see the Crown Vic giving the ladder truck a boost instead of it happening the other way around.

1985, S162 thru 170



Nine Emergency One pumpers on the Hurricane chassis were delivered in 1985. For reasons unbeknown to the rank and file of the Department, the specs were changed after the bidding process to have top mounted pump panels. This increased the wheelbase from 160” to 167”, which, along with the fenderless 96” cab and 28’ length, made the rigs a little more unwieldy than previous wagons.



The pumps were Hale 1250 gpm single stage and the stainless steel tanks were 500-gallonn. Assignments were to Engines 3, 5, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26, 28, and 31.

The former Engine 31 later in life (I believe), in service as Engine 32.

Engine 28 had to collapse the mirrors each time it backed into quarters; then had to pull out of quarters for each response, stop, fold the mirrors out, and proceed. On apparatus that didn't have roll down windows (!), this was, indeed, a hassel (E-31 had the same problem). 28's Hurricane was soon given to Engine 16. September 1985 photo.

Did the E\-One top mount pumpers get replaced quickly? From what I've seen, most of the reserves are older Seagraves, KMEs or E-1s (closed cabs).
