Memphis Fire Dept

Not to say yall are wrong and im right this is what I recall.



At the time of delivery the Squirt was sent to the 5's. It replaced a 1980 King/Seagrave. Confirmed through my father who was detailed to the 5's often, the squirt was there upon delivery.



Germantown took over the old 2s on Forest Hill Irene in 92. SCFD E2 moved to the current station then running a 1980 Pirsch/Pierce.



During the Glory Days of Hickory Hill and due to the amount of working fires and runs, The squirt was sent to the 2's with the intentions of E62 being able to perform truck work with a aerial device shortly after E62 moved to its current station around 93. ( Yes E63 and E62 would layout several times a day sometimes, they no doubt would rank as some of the busiest companies in the county at the time )



In 94 my father was transfered from E62-A to E68-A. Confirmed through him E66 never ran anything but a Pirsch pumper at the time through 98.



When the Quints were delivered E65 and E63 both ran them until annexation of Hickory Hill by Memphis.



Now, in 98 when my father left the job on retirement E66 was running a Pirsch. In 98-99 I was working in Millington at the time. I drove by the 66s every day and only recall seeing E66 running the Pirsch then the Smeal.



Hugh BTW I have a CA clipping from around 93 that shows your father and my father both overhauling at the Spur's night club fire down in Hickory Hill with the Squirt raised in the background.



Since ive been trying to compile together a history of SCFD I will look into E66 running the squirt. I just dont ever recall seeing it out there.
