A historical look at EMA/ESDA vehicle

Oct 19

Posted by Admin in Historic fire apparatus | 8 Comments

This from Brian Murphy:

The following pictures were taken in the early and mid-1990s, and show various EMA and ESDA support vehicles. Most were either ‘home built’ by volunteers using part or whole former fire apparatus, or were donated former fire apparatus. Many of these rigs had long second lives supporting FD and PD operations (and some are most likely still in service). All pictures were taken with various small 35mm cameras (no digital, just old-fashioned photographs).

Comments and details on missing info are welcomed- enjoy!
