There is no greater body of tongue-in-cheek humor than can be found in a fire dept. This intake cover is what is normally used on the steamer connection on a NYC fire hydrant.

I believe you're thinking of the FDR Drive Highway Response vehicles. The one that was stationed with Engine 16 was deactivated in April 2001. I'm not sure about the one stationed with Engine 44, but it may be gone as well.

These nozzles are only about a year old. Any other pics of 229 and the purple K rig. They're the engine in my house and I was also wondering if you'd mind if I copied this onto my comp to brig to the FH. I promise to only make fun of the little guy sitting in a booster seat to drive the purple K rig. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
