Ok back in 1990 WHYY Channel 12 (PBS) did a show "FIRE!" on the Philly Fire Dept. I just got done watching my tape of it. I would love to see an updated show on Philly FD now. Back then the Rescue was not in service yet, the Battalions ran Suburbans with the Jaws of Life in the back. The companies would use the tools once they arrived. There were some cool shots of rigs and operations.
This is Engine 16's old 1979 American LaFrance (Philly Shop #79-5166) at their Belmont Street Station. They had a 100 or 200 series rearmount in the last time I was there. Engine 16 operated "QUINT 16" a Simon Duplex rig for a while before it was re-assigned to Quint 69 near the Airport.
