Here is the Secret Service Fire Dept Fire truck. Am not sure he is the fire chief or how many people assigned to the rig

Isn't that the engine assigned to the SS training academy in Belltsville?

nah..they're just a bunch of fat fucks who couldn't hack it anywhere else so their friend hired them.
Got any specs, etc. on that piece? Looking at it VERY CLOSELY,
it appears to be an old NDW piece that I drove years ago. When
it was NEW! Ex- NRL-CBD Duplex pumper. Slow as hell. All the
lights line up with places that we up-fitted with exta stuff. Even
the lightbar is the one we installed at CBD. They must use it as
a "mock up" in their training scenarios. Glad to see the old pig
still alive! Got any other pics?
The paint shop even "cut in" around the scotch-lite that we put
on down there! WOW!
Also, the location of that pic? Looks familiar, but can't put my
finger on it. Definitely not the Training Academy!
Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, that is the old CBD engine, it does run at the Beltsville training center, and that appears to be the parking lot behind Bladensburg's fire house.

Thanks! Guess PG Chief-9 was delivering it to the SS.
Thought that location looked a little familiar! Sure would
be nice to get a better photo of it! That pumper isn't
really all that big. Just looks that way. Wonder who
did the repaint and if any other refurb/rehab was done.
It looks like it has held up well for its age! It REALLY needs
a REAL motor! That GM "Fuel-Pincher" was always a joke!
You could almost RUN faster than it would go! Other than
that it was a pretty decent piece. Lots of cabinet space
and it would pump good!
I'll look around later and see if I have some pics to compare
and post them.
