Denver Metro Fire Apparatus

[quote name='SFD Probie' post='264839' date='Dec 6 2008, 22:05 ']The two rigs on the left that I credited as EFD rigs appear to me to be such as. The Engine appears to be a Pierce, due to the oval on the front, which would match an EFD engine at the time. The rescue at the back of that line could be either EFD or LBFPD, I labeled it as such due to the other rigs being an EFD rig.

Hmmm. It's indeed a mystery. Too bad it isn't available in a larger size! I don't know, though. The engine still looks very much like a Bancroft Seagrave, all 3 of which had a Q siren installed in the middle-front of the cab (maybe the "oval" you refer to?). To me, that cab shape is distinctively PB-model Seagrave.



Here is a photo from the West Metro photo stream on Flickr (credit to ral11us), showing one of Bancroft's PB-model Seagraves. Disregard the overhead warning lights - They were obviously added after the rig was sold by West Metro. Up until the end, when they were still reserves, those rigs had the original clear single beacons on the roof.







Thanks for writing back. We may never know for sure!



Regards,

John.
