The ex-USAF P-12 now owned by a DCFD LT was aquired by the DCFD as Government surplus equipment along with 2 US Navy Walthers/? 1000 gpm Wagons, one of which was used for a Driver's Training rig at the Training Academy, and the other two went for Fire Protection at Camp Brown, a DC summer camp for urban youth in Maryland. The were manned by a detail during the days the campers were present. The P-12 was the only rig so painted, the others remained Lime Yellow until sold as surplus property.
The DCFD also used 2 ex St.E's rigs, a 1965 IH/Dakota 750/500 and the Spartan/E-one 1250/500 that went to E-24 when E-34 was closed by the DCFD. (E-34 was a great detail, good food, cool guys and no night watch!!!!!!, but the bunkbeds were a killer!!!!!!!!!!) Both these rigs were painted stars and bars, per the TR and Co. brain trust. This looked good on the Squads, but like crap on the other rigs!
Other agencies in DC with fire apparatus included St.E's, Lorton (DC Department of Corrections, which had a B-475 Mack Wagon, and later a Mini-Pumper manned by Correctional Officers in the late 1980's), Metro (for testing standpipes, the Lorton Mack, a 1985 GMC/Grumman, and a 2005 Frieghtliner/E-One), Naval District of Washington (3 Stations), and Walter Reed AMC, 2 staions, 1 in DC. St. E's and DOC no longer have rigs. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
