Truck 5 in service with a former Richmond rig on Rock Creek Parkway. I believe this was also T-5 in Richmond.[/quote]



Hey Bro,



The 1989 ex Richmond, Va, shop 89-1317 was Truck 5's ride. Unknown it where abouts now.



Shop 88-1315 was Truck 2's ride, which I believe is at Leesburg, VA

A Local Alarm was struck for a truck on fire in the 3rd Street Tunnel, unknown direction; Engine 6 and Truck 4 responded southbound; Engine 7 and Truck 10 respond northbound; Engine 16 responded as water supply (2-piece company), along with Air Unit 1 and Battalion 6.



Due to hydrants being out of service the day of the alarm, the DCFD was using an All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men response of three engines, two trucks, an air unit and chief for vehicle fires in the downtown tunnels. Luckily, the van in question was up on the Southeast-Southwest Freeway near an exit for the 3rd St. tunnel and not in the tunnel itself.



The defensive posture of the hand lines was due to exploding nail gun ammunition and a white-blazing magnesium instrument panel, common to newer GMC Savana and Chevy Express vans.

Engine 6 handled the incident with Truck 4 (E-07 was also held initially). In this photo firemen start a supply line to Foam Unit 1, which was sent on a Special to supply E-06 from its 1,000-gallon tank.

A better shot of the Command Truck.



I am new at firetruck spotting and I don't have a lot of details as for years of makes, dates of service, etc.

I hope you will forgive me and enjoy the photos.

I believe that this is the New one, unless DC has gotten another one since.

Thats the one they currently have. I've been wanting to get a picture of that, but everytime I go to DC the streets are too packed to park.

The last three years I have been to the station the firemam are willing to move it out for photos but the Deputy Chief has said NO. All they had to do was pull right out on the apron. I gave up on that one.

Oh that sucks. I wonder why the DC keeps saying no? Perhaps its the usual "security" reasons.
