TEXAS RIGS
Engine 37 had this 1976 Mack CF, 1000/500 for a while. It replaced a 1956 Mack B that you might have seen on one of Steve Skaar's Houston postings.

Here is Amb. 1163 which was housed at Station 63, which serviced George Bush Airport and the far Northern part of Houston. It was a 1978 Chevy/Modular Corp.

Station 38 once housed one of several rescue companies in the city. They had their own 4 man crews and as I understand it they could add themselves to box alarms they weren't assigned to. These rigs were 1979 Ford/Koenig rigs.

Ladder 68 had this 1982 Seagrave/3-D, 100 ft/250/150, which you have seen before. This is the only Ladder 68 I have ever photographed and caught it when they came by Staion 82 while I was their. Sorry for the duplicate photo.

Another suburb city which borders Dallas in the north side is Farmers Branch. They have 2 stations at present and are about to open Station 3 in December and that will probably be the last station for them. First rig for them is this 1970's GMC/Summer Coach ambulance which was a BLS unit prior to them getting a paramedic program.

Another BLS unit they ran with was this 1970's GMC/Swab ambulance. I've been told that most Swab's could be found in the northern US which I believe as I only know of two that I photographed or ever saw.

Station 1 received a 1995 Pierce Lance, 65 ft/1500/500 which met an early and untimely death when its telesquirt came in contact with an overhead powerline. It could not be repaired and was sold.
