That was DFC Ellis's pride, doing the Gold Leaf on all the new apparatus when it came into service. He's been retired for quite a few years now, but still lives over in Brighton Center and his son, Patrick, is the Captain of Tower Ladder 3.

Yeah that would certainly help! And Skip, Chief Ellis sure was on to a great idea there!

Are you sure that's MacCurtain's car? I'd swear I saw it in the driveway of Commissioner Fraser a couple of Sundays ago.

Inside was hanging a BFD uniform jacket with 5 gold stripes on the sleeves, I don't believe I've ever seen the commissioner wear a BFD jacket but the chief has...I am assuming it's his unless someone in the know says otherwise

This is Ladder 2's old piece. When they got the TL, this was reassigned to Ladder 21. Ladder 2 is now using a spare until the new E\-One Rearmounts arrive in the fall.
