I need some help, I've lost track of a few units and need the input of the experts. E50, E54 & E57 all had 74 Seagraves, correct? I know that E50's wagon went to E54. What happened to E54's? Was it damaged in the accident that resulted in the LODD death of the Acting Lt.? Did Engine 50 receive a new Foam Pumper at the time they gave their wagon to E54? I also know that when E10 was combined to form AT128, their Foam Wagon went to E57. What then happened to E57's 1974 Seagrave? If I'm correct, I think E50's Foam Wagon finished up as Reserve Engine 65, and Engine 57's Foam Wagon as Reserve Engine 66. Any insight is much appreciated! Thanks! Paul

Engine 54 used RE17 a 1967 American LaFrance(ex E6) until they got the Spartan/FMC in 1988

Howard, I was sorta a house cat there. They defiantly ran RE17, then they did receive old engine 50. It still had Engine 50's dedication plate on it after 54 received it

Went through various old negatives in boxes up in the attic and found a lot of old city rig shots and scanned some in as I dug through them. These were photos my dad shot when he and I first started going around to firehouses in the early and mid 1990's. Many of them were inside shots, but when I look back on it in a way I'm glad we have them now. There's something about looking back at old photos that makes them seem more special years later, even if they didn't come out absolutely great, so I thought I would share some old memories here. Also if it weren't for my dad I might have not gotten into the hobby like this. He would devote his time to take me around to firehouses in both Baltimore City and County almost every weekend starting when I was at the age of 3.



Here is the first one.



Engine 2, when they had the 1982 Hendrickson/Grumman. This shot was taken at the Southside Shopping Center off Fort Avenue I want to say sometime in Summer of 1993.

Engine 3 with a 1987 Spartan/FMC, shot in front of their house (Now Fire Academy House) probably sometime in early 1995.

Here is Engine 32 inside Oldtown with their 1986 Spartan/FMC right after it was rehabbed after being involved in an accident running into a brick wall. E 32 was shortly disbanded after this and unfortunately this was one of the only shots we ever got of it.

Reserve Engine 69, a 1978 Seagrave ex-E47, and behind old Airflex 2, a 1978 International also taken inside Oldtown I believe the same day as E 32.

Here is Engine 42 running a Seagrave (ex-E26) I believe was the time between when after Aerial Tower 114 was disbanded and before Engine 42 recieved 32 Engine's Spartan/FMC after disbanded, shown in p.1317, 2 posts above.
