Ladder 23 was possibly a unique rig. I think it was the only WLF snorkel that Houston had. It was a 1967 WLF- Hi-Ranger, 75 ft low profile cab. This snorkel started out running out of Station 1 as Unit 501, later was moved to 23's, where I photographed it in July 1982.

All the Engines and trucks had the old B&M sirens on them while the MICU's had Federal electronic sirens and an occassiol addn'l B&M siren as well. The electronic sirens started to appear on the Eng/Trucks in the late 70's.[/quote]
