Kids and fire engines have always gone together - especially when
your father is a firefighter! Erin, Julie, and David Shearman stopped by the 18's one
day when dad was detailed from Truck 16 to Engine 18. This photo was taken around 1983.

This photo was taken shortly after the new firehouse opened on Wilmer Road in the summer of 1970. The left bay is occupied by Engine 36 who already have their 1970 American LaFrance engine in service. Truck 3 is in the middle bay with a 1951 Seagrave 85 foot aerial and Engine 18 is on the right with a 1953 Seagrave. Out on the ramp is District 6 (who remembers that there was a District 6?) with what I believe was one of the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle's. Anyone recognize the guy reading from the front seat of his BMW?
