Baltimore City Fire Department

[Guest]

I'll continue with Duanes 1973 Baltimore City trip tomorrow. Again, as in many other posts, I am trying to list the apparatus as the year indicated by the fire department. I have seen differing delivery dates from the year the department listed as the year of the apparatus. For example, the rig may have been delivered in one year, but the department assigns it a date a year later, possibly when they actually put it into service.



ppfd- I'm not sure about why the rigs lasted longer in those days. I know that the metal was sure a lot thicker in the old days than it is now. For those of us living in snowy conditions, road salt was not a factor way back then.
