This color-pixilated image comes across better in black and white. The rigs had a good amount of dead space over the rear axle and were known to fishtail on occasion when slamming on the brakes. Engine 4 had fishtailed a couple of times on Sherman Avenue; this was attributed to undisciplined drivers and officers.
Engine 4’s wagon works a Box Alarm at 512 R St. NW, November 23, 2001.
