Hello everyone, I have been photographing Seattle Fire Apparatus since the 70'S and was wondering if any of the following Seattle Fire Engines are still around. They are as follows 1987 Spartarns F/O 389,379,380,378,381 1991-93 Spartans F/O 5305,5308,5306,5304,5312,5311,5315,5316. I found F/O 5313 at station 29 and 5316 at training as engine 91. If anyone has any info on any of these old seattle rigs please let me know, I have pictures of all of them but lost track if they are still around.



Thanks

Welcome to the Board. Can't wait to see some of the "old" Seattle rigs.



All of the 1986-87 Western States-Spartan engines have been disposed of and the 1991 E\-One-Spartan units are all gone except for APP #5313 listed as Reserve 86, as you said, assigned at West Seattle Station 29. APP #5314, a 1993 E\-One-Spartan, was removed from service a few weeks ago along with a 1996 E\-One Protector that I haven't identified yet. The other two 1993 engines, APP #5315, and 5316, were last assigned as training rigs R91 and R92 at JTF.



There are a few pics of these rigs on the PACIFIC NORTHWEST thread.



All of the Western States rigs were triple combination pumpers equipped with Hale 1500 GPM top mounted configuration and 530-gal booster tanks.

The 1991 and '93 rigs were the same but carried 500 gallon booster tanks.
