Baltimore City Fire Department

I'm not going to argue the EMS vs FIRE issue, but let me say this: Even though I am a career Firefighter/Paramedic, I think that the "EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES" on the ladder board is the most ridiculous lettering job I have seen since we used to have "FIRE / MEDICAL SERVICE" on the side of our stars & bars wagons... I mean, really. Why don't we just list every single service we provide on the apparatus? It would certainly visible with all that extra scotchlite!

Myself, Slipperysam, & Pipeline 26, took the New Truck 2 that went into service this past Saturday 7/22/07 to Fort McHenrey for some photos today. Here's the following shots we got.

Last shot, this time a little more green in the background, and no shodow on the ground.

Question for you BCFD Buffs, what is 'Airflex'? Is it a mobile cascade? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The Airflex units were first created in the early 1970's when Baltimore combined the functions of the air wagon, the floodlight units and the hi-expansion foam units into one rig, hence the name Airflex. The concept was abandoned for a few years and Baltimore ran straight air wagons, but the Airflex concept was brought back to life a couple of years ago.
