Continuing with some DCFD apparatus history:
Between 1958 and 1969 the DCFD purchased no fewer than 50 short wheel based Pirsch and Ward Lafrance pumpers, all 750 gpm. The 1958 Pirsch seen in service as E-10’s pumper is one of 20 similar Pirsch. Engine 8’s 1966 Ward pumper (on the hydrant) is one of 15 similar Wards. The scene is 15th St. and Potomac Ave SE, c.1975.
