1958 F.W.D. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos and thanks for the offer. I may be contacting you this summer on setting up a shoot date. My main interest is WWI and WWII military fire rigs. I would be interested in getting copies of any pre-1960 APG-Edgewood rigs for my collection. I have 4 more photos coming showing training at the post. One of the fire fighters at my station grandfather was chief at APG and I am trying to find just what photos he may have from the post.
The attached photo shows Edgewood Station 2 from about 1920, rig on the left is a 1918 AmLaFr, don't know what the other rig is.

It looks like the posted pictures of Edgewood were owned by Samuel A. Jones, once a fire fighter at Edgewood. Here is his 20 years Certifiate of Service which was included in the photos.

Don't know why when I type fire fighters in a post it comes up highlighted and takes you to a ad, it's not my doing. Anyway, this is the envelope that held the posted pictures from Edgewood.

S.A Jones, or "Aus" as we all called him was also Chief and Asst. Chief in Delta Cardiff for years, as well as owning and operating the PenMar Fire Extinguisher business. He was a great man and it was a pleasure to serve under him.

3rd District- This is great stuff! Do you reside in the area? If so, you have to come and break bread with us at Edgewood one night for dinner- and check out the stuff we have hanging on the walls. PM me if you are interested!
