As I have mentioned before I am now working on a book featuring my Dad's old Kodachromes.....well I came across a shot I just had to share with you guys. This is a 5-11 alarm at 1872 N Wilmot in February 1958. The depth of field is kinda rough but I love this shot...You can see 2 56 macks and in the middle a Mack sedan pumper working as well as the remnants of the fire building, complete with wooden ground ladders. I love this shot...makes me feel like I am there!!!! The rearmost Mack is engine 76, and the front one is I believe 43..notice the hard suction hook up....This shot looks as good now as when it was taken over 50 years ago...amazing!!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/BananaMan.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Awesome shot Steve. Just a slight correction: two Macks so beautifully pictured are 1954 models and the sedan Mack is one of six purchased in 1948.
