S-195, 1994
The late 1980’s and 1990’s were a time of tribulation for the Department and City in general. Congress exercised its
legislative authority over the District and passed a measure establishing the Commission on Budget and Financial Priorities
to oversee expenditures. One of the “Rivlin Commission” recommendations was that the Fire Department investigates
the feasibility of combination-pumpers (also known as quints).
KME had just The Thing.
