A large part of my collection was purchased from a GOOD man, John Floyd. I give him FULL credit on his work, although I may miss something. Thanks John. Also Scott Mattson, Warren Jenkins, Michael Schwartzberg, and Mike Sanders. Thanks Guys.

[quote name='Ladder 68' post='325656' date='Jul 31 2009, 22:46 ']Kevin, thanks for the great photo history and information. Truly great stuff.

Is the water supply system in that bad of shape that it is making a daily impact on your operations?

Be safe.[/quote]The situation is always improving Larry, but at this time Engines 53 & 55 are staffed 24/7 with a driver. E-53 responds from the quarters of E-19 on all Boxes in the 1st Due Box Alarm Districts of E-15, E-19, E-25, E-27, E-30, E-32 & E-33 (the entire area east of the Anacostia River).



Engine 55 responds from the quarters of E-21 on all Boxes in the 1st Due Box Alarm Districts of E-5, E-20, E-21, E28, E-29, E-31 (5th Battalion, Upper Northwest).

It was an International that was disposed of in 2007 and replaced by the Peterbilt. Any info, Cosgrove? What year was the International?

According to the label on the back of a photo in my collection, it is a 1994 International S2574/Burtek 30-Ton wrecker...
