That shed was on Dewey Road at Randolph, about where the westbound lane of Randolph crosses Dewey

Hawkins Point has it as I have it on Kensington's previous Station 21. To add to the confusion, in 1956 KVFD began detailing an engine from their then No 2 Glenmont station (now 18's) to a garage at one of the model homes at then new Veirs Mill Village. Where exactly this was I have no idea. That was the same year 18's got the one and only Pirsch that was supposedly that stations first "new" engine. In 1958, came the shed as shown at Randolph and Dewey officially KVFD Station 3 later moving to Randolph and Parkland in 1962 todays Station 21. For all I know the shed shown may have been the same or general area as the garage of the model.



On the Bethesda rigs heres what I have to add to this melee. No 2 the open cab Mack L, I have as a '50. I recall it still as E61 just after the move to the new Station 6 replaced not too soon after by the '71 Ford L, Pirsch. No 5 the Chevy Pirsch I have as a '57. I recall it as E63 the "reserve" from the new Station 6. I suspect it first ran as E202 behind the '57 Mack B No 4. E202 later received a similar '60 model that was No 6. No 5 probably moved obver as E62 until the '67 Chevy Hahn. I don't remember that at the old Station 6 (doesn't mean it wasn't there) but yes at the new house as E62. (This one also gets identified as a '70 model often) It moved to E201 about 1974, E63 in 1980 and to the academy as shown in 1988. On the '71 Ford L Pirsch, E61 then to E201 in 1980 then to Midland in Allegheny County MD in 1983. Again feel free to correct or add onto any of this as "some" of it predates me and some of my grey matter is deteriorating. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
