I'm not sure iff that was the 1966 or 1967 IHC/Hi-Ranger 85' snorkel in the background, but both were still in regular service when I visited in 1980. One was at Ladder 5 and the other at Ladder 22. Here is Ladder 22's at a working fire in about 1980.

Nice shots from the High Rise Job. They had a small fire in a closet in Hahanman Hospital. But the story here is Squrt 43 is back in service with the reserve Squrt that was used by 55's and 72's before.

That is a sharp looking rig...

Here's a shot of Engine 57 with their "temporarily" assigned apparauts. They have been running with the engine formerly assigned to Engine 1. It is a 1995 KME with 1500 gpm pump and 500 gallon tank.

Jack any reason that Sq 402 is not in service as Sq 43 or 57??? Seams strange that a Squrt is sitting in a firehouse when 2 others are out of service with normal rigs and in service with regular Engines...
