Tim, you are correct I'm no longer at Riverdale but they are a great group of guys. I haven't heard who is getting which truck only station numbers. I knew it was an Oxon Hill station gettin a wagon just didnt remember which one. Tower 21 had a bunch of flaws from day one and like tower 7 was in the shop on and off for a good amount of time. Shoop, the tower had a major malfunction while getting some hydraulic work done at either a local shop or the county shop (each blames the other). The bucket was removed and placed in a truck and the tower was driven to ITE for repairs. It may be going back to Wisconsin for repairs and other "major" work. Oh yea it will always be "my" tower. That beast was my baby!! I loved wheelin that bad boy around!

Almost 20 years ago ! the Riverdale VFD was going thru big changes in preparation to receiving the new tower; in this photo from early March,1993, the new addition was nearing completion. A Seagrave/Baker demo tower was on hand for training, and the new E72 (1992 Seagrave, at right) was in service. The tower would be delivered in time to go to Ocean City in June,1993.
