I was exercising my scanner today and came across a coupla neat photos...I processed these in my darkroom in about 1978
The first is a shot of the joker stand and running board at eng 84 truck 51 6204 s Green one night while I was on jock watch
the 2nd is a 2-11 at 46th & lasalle that eng 84 was due on the box...Ray Orozco Sr was the officer that day...a nice view of the rear of the then new turret wagon..I think this was the one wrecked at the fire at 37th & Iron....
I really and truly treasure my fire fan days and miss them every day

Steve, that is a nice photo of the stand. I see the sounder on the left! Great photos of this and the turrett wagon at the job. Did they put her into service??
