1981
Speaking of towers, here is the Water Tower as I remember it - Shop serial S-360, a 1971, 85’ Sutphen. She was assigned to Truck Co. 3 from 1971 to 1976. In addition to running it’s own Box Alarm area, Truck 3 ran an extended Working Fire area, and was due city-wide on all 2nd Alarms. As a regular truck company she was dispatched as “Truck 3”; on any other response she was sent as “Truck 3, the Water Tower”.
