An interesting point about this apparatus is it was the one of the first pumpers purchased by Prince Georges County Fire Department, it was painted in the colors of the volunteer station it was assigned too. It had a fire department license plate that read Prince Georges County Fire Department Engine 1. The unit was rehabed and repainted in the department colors of white with a red stripe and assigned to Reserve Engine 8. It was then assigned as Engine 531 which was the special events company. It had "Raljon Express" printed on the front of the cab, in honor of Jack Kent Cooke's two sons and the name of the area where the new Redskins Football Stadium was built. It is a 1973 Ford C/Oren 1000 gpm, the two 1980 Ford C/3D 750 gpm pumpers were assigned to Station 27 and 41.[/quote]

I knew it spent some time at 53,one of the former shift men from our station use to work overtime at the stadium and he said that this Ford had seen its better days.

The two 1980 Fords from 27 and 41 are posted a few pages back in this thread.
