He used to be on the Code 3 boards. I don't want to give his name out, but he lives in Minnesota and also owns several other of the Ward/Rangers that were in the movie. He's currently in the process of restoring the Engine 17 rig.



As for the dept. in Pennsylvania who is trying to sell their "Engine 17". That is a former Chicago rig, but it WAS NOT used in the movie backdraft. The current owner of the real Engine 17 has the whole story on that rig, and doesn't think too much of that dept. in Penna. trying to pass their rig off as the real thing.[/quote]



thank you,they are very persistant it was used in movie but after i got the story it wasn't they weren't very happy and still argue the point of it being the engine i was told what engine it was when it was in service but forgot i' pretty sure i was told it was 40something

anyway thanks for clarification. i appreciate it
