 October 2006 photo of Air 2, S-799. Running out of Engine 8, it covers the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, as well as portions of the 1st and 6th. "Air 3" was not a company, per se, but the name assigned to a 1993 Chevrolet Step Van. The $25,700 unit was a ready reserve to be used when Air 1 or Air 2's apparatus was out of service. It is still on the inventory. Photo taken March 3, 2004, Quarles and Olive St. NE.

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.

People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?

1979 photo by John Floyd,Warren Jenkins collection. Quote:Keplinger's ?????????????? A fire apparatus repair shop near Winchester, VA. Thanks to The Commish posting of Joel Wood's image of a DCFD Bruco squad wagon, it got me reminiscing. These were the only apparatus to have a PA system. More than once some evil prankster would chance by a squad's opened door on the fireground, key the microphone, and broadcast "Headquarters to Engine 9". The officer from Engine 9 would thing he's hearing a message on an apparatus radio (commonly left on Channel 1), switch his portable to Channel 1 and answer up. In this early 1980's photo, reserve S-604 is swapped for S-605 at Engine 9’s quarters, 1617 U St. NW. The rigs are 1966 and 1967 Ford N850/ Brucos. S-604 was the original apparatus of RS-4, organized in 1976. The 4 is visible between the hood and the door.

S-604 survived into the late 1980’s. It was repainted and used as a reserve squad, and eventually became the Hazmat Unit in 1984. It went back into reserve around 1988 and was disposed of shortly thereafter.
