Warren,



This was one from the past. You and I have traded photos a long time.



Was this Wagon 52 or Wagon 53? I always found it funny having both numbers on the Ward. As I recall, I photographed this as a reserve.

Strangely lettered, but clearly sitting in front of Station 3 on Cameron Mills Rd. So I would say it was probably running as Wagon 53 at the time.
Remember, it's their Emergency, not yours !  Arrive Alive !

Mike, you had it labeled as reserve E-4 on the print; check out the WLF P-82 thread later on for another "blast from the past"! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/popcorn.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Popcorn' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' /> Warren Jenkins

Sounds like one of the EMS Supervisor vehicles was in a wreck.



Emergency Vehicle, Car Collide; Two Injured



By Elissa Silverman and Martin Weil

Washington Post Staff Writers

Wednesday, December 26, 2007; B05







An Alexandria emergency vehicle on its way to a medical call collided with a private vehicle yesterday, sending two people to hospitals, authorities said.



A female passenger from the private vehicle was the more seriously injured in the crash, which occurred about 2:20 p.m. at West Braddock Road and Kenwood Avenue in the Oakcrest neighborhood, about a mile east of Shirley Highway, according to authorities and neighbors.



After the crash, the passenger was extricated from the badly damaged vehicle and taken by helicopter to Washington Hospital Center, according to Jane Malik, a spokeswoman for the Alexandria fire department. Her condition could not be learned immediately.



A resident of the area said she came upon the wreckage when she returned to her neighborhood late in the afternoon.



"When I saw the car, I was shocked to see the way it looked," Joyce Rylyk said.



"I was so shocked that anybody even made it out of that car," she said. "It looked like the top was gone." It was not clear how much damage came from extrication.



Malik said an EMS supervisor who was in the emergency vehicle was taken to a hospital.

The City Manager last night at the Alexandria Council meeting released his proposed FY2009 budget. Alexandria is ahead of the curve compared to most cities and starts and completes their budget process early to allow for maximum public involvement.



In the Fire Department FY2009 budget there is a 19% increase in capital expenditures to allow for replacement of 1 pumper and 1 ambulance.
