Hi, Robert,
All lovely shots in so many ways!
As you might expect, I especially liked the one of the control panel.
Does this engine have a control panel on both sides? I recall when that was unusual (I recall that at one time the D.C. Fire Department had only one engine with a control panel on both sides.)
I think that in those days the main suction inlet was often on the control panel, I think not so for the engine you show.
Thanks again for these beautiful pictures.
Best regards,
Doug

Thanks Doug. I can't answer your questions for you - sorry. I don't know anything about fire trucks or have an interest that way. Just photographing an interesting and accessible scenario.

This, Rob, in itself is already so interesting.
I like the idea of this as a poster. It provides for endless musing.
Thanks for the firemen's work and bravery we do not tend to burn our entire neighborhoods down so readily!

From the looks of the pump panel it is on the Engineers side and there are a few intakes and out flows on officer side of the rig, and I have to agree with Doug great set of photos.
