Reverse angle from above. You can see that by this time the DCFD had ditched all the large diameter hose and returned to 3" supply line for the sake of speed, versatility and ease.

Engine 10 traded in their 1996 E\-One Cyclone for this 2000 Cyclone II. Photo was taken March 8, 2001, apartment fire in rear of 1300 block of H St. NE.

In this photo taken on 01-23-07, E-21’s 2000 Cyclone II (S-120) was at the end of its first-line use though only seven years old. This is not to say anything bad about the manufacturer; it is the nature of running a 15-ton aluminum body rig thousands of times a year.

S116 is still around and taking up space at 50 49th st NE. What a POS, I liked S196 much better.

Wasn't that ex-E-25? Do you know what E-3 ended up with (S-196 or S-195)?

Speaking of S-116 (xE-30), here’s a photo of its twin sister, S-117 (xE-22), filling in for either E-1 or E-23 one day in September 2004.

I believe the department went to the Humat Valve in 1998 with the first two Seagraves (E-27 and E-31). I have no photograph in the archives showing an Akron after 1998.

2001 S-130 through 135



Six wagons, ordered from Seagrave in 2000, were put into service early in 2001. The DCFD returned to the two-stage pump, this time the Waterous CM 1250 GPM, and kept the 500-gallon water tanks. The previous two ’98 Seagraves had single-stage Hale pumps.



S-130 through 135 went to Engine Companies 6, 11, 17, 23, 24, and 25.

In March 2007, the “E-24” was peeled off S-134, and it was pressed into service as a reserve wagon with Engine 30. View is in the 5400 block of C St. SE.
