Mike, what station assignments did the Imperial's go to? I have Herndon, Great Falls, Clifton, Gunston, but don't have where the last one went. Is this correct?

Micah,



In all honesty, I am not sure. The Imperials ended up at quite a few stations throughout their careers, with some stations at one point operating two at the same house. Same story for the Imperials when they were rehabed....they ended up at numerous stations.



Here is what I know. Two were received initially followed shortly thereafter by three more. The first two were assigned to Station 11 and Station 22. I have older photos of Imperials at those stations. The remaining three were to be assigned to some of the newer stations that were to be built. Until that time, I believe they were assigned to stations that did not operate a second engine (it was common at that time for the engine companies being 2 piece units). From there, I am not sure.

The Imperials ended up at a variety of fire houses across the county, and some stations even ran two of them at one time.
