Correct 5's came from E33. It looks like they did a number to the bumper since I shot it last.

Not the proper forum to talk about the dry wit of Bozo (Deputy Fire Chief B. E.). Of course, my opinion on Deputies has been refined over the years. They're really not that bad...

I can say 100% that E5 is not running any piece that would ever have been at 30, however- if a vehicle WERE to survive being at 30 it would only go to 5 or 29 <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stretcher.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Stretcher' /> Our most recent wagons (S116 and S141) were rode hard and put away wet, and were always the last to get replaced. Apparently we pissed someone off in apparatus a few years back?

I knew you would know that, Timmy. I still laugh when I still think of that statement.

You KNOW this one....lolol.



Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

Engine 23 (S-165), 2006 Seagrave

Interesting that 23 is running chains, not cable or drop chains. Is this a drivers prefrence or choice in DC?

Or how about this one.

When a TR called the Boat and asked if the Potomac River running through the City was the same one where the huge Oil Spill was in VA a number of years ago .

I believe the only vehicle in the DCFD fleet that has onspot chains is Mobile Command Unit 1, and that is only because it was not built to spec.

Do they still work? Last I checked most protruding items on that rig inadvertently "came off" ie: typing was involved... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' /> Seriously, another vehicle AMD did not spec so that makes two.

Yes the chains are still on and they work, but Pin ripped off one of the fog lights the other day.

Thanks T-Bone, Shoop and ResQguy - my typo. Engine 5 indeed has the former Engine 33. Meanwhile, Engine 33 has the former Engine 30’s 2002 Seagrave (S-141) quartered there as a 70-series reserve piece.
