Alexandria, VA Fire Department

[davemcclung]

Prior to purchasing Pierces for pumpers (Rescue Engine 206 was purchased in 1998 I believe) and but for the E-0ne Protector purchased for Engine 52/202 the Alexandria Fire Department went through a KME phase with pumpers.



Here are a few shots of of Engine 53 which, someone who knows more correct me if I am wrong, was the first KME pumper purchased by Alexandria. Engine 53 has a special place in my heard because when I moved to Alexandria in 1994 I lived in Box 5305 within Engine 53's first due. My dog would always bark and howl wildly as Engine 53 came screaming down my street to turn onto King Street which it did frequently.
