I have a rather large collection of pics of all kinds from MD. Those of you that know me, know exactly where 99% of it came from. There will be fireground,accidents,training, parade,posed,and station shots. The only common ground will be apparatus. I will give what little info I have for the pics. Any comments,corrections,or more detailed info is greatly welcome. There will not be any order at all to these pics, and this may go on for a long time, depending on how well people like the thread. Enjoy!



This first pic is Kentland's old Mack tower at a working fire, w/ Glenn Dale's Sutphen boom in the background. The dtae on the back says Nov,1987.

This one is from Feb 1980. If I'm correct I believe it's a training fire in Laurel. That would probably be Savage's Ford C at the left, and L10 in the center.

This fire pic is a "3 alarm house fire, AA Co,7-16-77" The first is a full view.

Here's a much closer view of the main fire. The only rig I recognize is one of Bowie's Brockway's.

Nice stuff, Frank! Keep it coming!

Last one for now is Kensington's old Pirsch snorkel working a fire in 1986?

Go right ahead Warren. I'm sort of curious to see what you've aquired over the years too.

OK,Frank I'll run with this for a bit - the board seems a little starved for entertainment anyway. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Hysterical' />

1st is several photos of a snack-bar fire at the old Gwynn Oak trolley amusement park in Woodlawn,MD. in 1969. The jeeps from Woodlawn VFD and probably Balto Co. #3 have attacked the fire with their "red" lines while a Mack CF fom Woodlawn and a Seagrave aerial from Baltimore County make their way into the park.
