RichRoadB- Thanks for the kind words about the historic DC photos.
dcfireman- Great images and thanks for the historic info. Did the department at some time quit using the S-200 series? I noticed that every pumper from 1968 to 1973 Duane had listed was in the S-100 series. Is that the "Wagons" always got the newer rigs after 1968? Loved your images in the fire section that you posted also.
When Duane Troxel visited a city he shot everything he could, including rigs in the shops. Here is the oldest reserve truck he shot (at the shops), a 1950 Pirsch 100-foot TDA, Pirsch #1896, DCFD #S-330.
