I should have noted that Duane's trip to the IAFC Convention in Baltimore was in the fall of 1973. Washington DC also owned five of these rather unusual looking 1962 Ward LaFrance 750/250 pumpers which were originally semi-open cabs. Here is Engine 9's 1962 WLF 750/259 "Pumper" in 1973, DCFD #S-299. The WLF serial #s were 7031-7135. Note the unusual add-on cab.
