  I remember that fire at the vacant former Dundee Lumber well! Barrington’s engine was drafting from the Fox River, just downstream from the Dundee footbridge, about 4 blocks from the fire scene, and if memory serves, supplying a tower ladder (Hampshire’s, I think).

  Barrington owned 2 sutphens: the engine and a tower ladder. If I’m not mistaken they also owned an engine with a ward ranger cab which I think had an e-one body so it looked liked a engine from backdraft but it was either all red or red and white.
