Historical or famous apparatus

Well for those of you who live in the Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio tri-state area or have ever heard of the Beverly Hills supper club fire this may interest you. Our fire department back in the 80's bought a ladder truck that was used to fight this nightclub fire from Ft. Thomas FD, and was wandering if any of you out there had any interesting or very antique Fire vehicles or machinery

Another tragic fire in the American Fire Service. We studied this fire, and the station nightclub fire extensively in our Fire Marshal class in the code enforcement section. Nice job landing the ladder. Finding a piece with historic value always means a little more

The Fermilab Fire Department to the south of me has the Engine that was used as Squad 55 on "Third Watch". It still has some FDNY markings on it.
