Very rare, only a few were made, Alexandria, Virginia also had one and was converted to a diesel engine due so so many problems with this new technology at the time. It put off a lot of heat!

I believe the pumper you are referring to was owned by the Mount Vernon Volunteer Fire Company of Fairfax County, Virginia. I am not aware of the City of Alexandria ever owning any Turbo-Chief apparatus.
