For anybody keeping track of the DC Roster.  Former Truck 12, and then 390 made its way onto Govdeals.  It is a 1998 Seagrave 100' TDA.

Shoop, when you have a chance could you please email me your most recent DCFD roster?

 

Thanks,

Engine 8's pumper on the hydrant, NW corner of 15th and D Sts. NE.  1978

 

This was the first pumper I ever drove on a response, shop number S-212  - Engine 8's 1966 Ward LaFrance.  The 66's Wards came in with Hale QLD 750 GPM two-stage pumps.  The previous Wards had Waterous pumps.  The rig had a 250-gallon water tank.

 

Some clues in this image: low residual pressure on the plug; weather that day; pumper's previous assignment; DCFD's standardized compartment; ...maybe more.

Interesting. These are actually being kept on DC property in Anne Arundel County.

Not much difference between what we order and what they order................
