For those interested, according to DCFD.com's "History" section (very interesting info to read!), Engine 34 at St Elizabeth's Hospital was organized on October 1, 1987, and disbanded on October 31, 1993.

In checking my records, the Federal FD employees were given the option of either transferring to another Federal FD or becoming DC Department of Health Civilian Employees.  Many thought that they would be able to transfer into the DCFD, but that was never offered to them.  When Engine 34 was disbanded, the remaining St.E's Firefighters remained in DOH as Fire Inspectors, serving St.E's grounds on a 9-5 schedule.  It was a great detail, a good group of guys and no night watch!!!!!  Once again, it's another example of how the DC Government continues it's tradition of screwing over good firefighters!!!!!!!
