How is the term "Wagon" used in PA? I know in Virginia it's a second engine designation.

When Washington,D.C. was running 2~piece Engine Cos., The 1st out was the Wagon(Hose) and the 2nd was the Pumper(Supply). I thought MD. & VA. used the same nomenclature.

 

PA. probably is the same.

Thanks...I like the designation, its a shame some jurisdictions are going away from it

How is the term "Wagon" used in PA? I know in Virginia it's a second engine designation.

In most areas of Virginia where it is still used the term "Wagon" usually refers to the first-out pumper; the second-out pumper typically is designated as the "Engine".  Several of the older west end Fairfax County fire stations ran two-piece engine companies up into the early 1990's until additional stations were built to fill in coverage gaps.

TECH20,


There were two identical units. Truck 15 and 21 were to receive the units in Baltimore. After Baltimore returned them, and ordered tillers, both the rearmounts were used as loaner trucks. The one at Leesburg could have been either unit. If Mike Sanders has the serial numbers, we could find out for sure.

Leesburg received the Seagrave loaner in May of 2007, and returned it to Seagrave in February of 2008. From there I believe the loaner went to East Hartford, CT. It was Baltimore City Truck 15 with serial number 75815.


Interesting "ladder truck" time at Leesburg. At one point, they had 4 ladders, which made it fun for a group photograph.
