  Which Engine companies are still running the 1997-98 Luvernes? I know Engine 50 recently got rid of their 1995 engine.

  E34 was never used in Backdraft. The confusion comes from the fact that 34 was the last WLF in service. After it went OOS it was put in storage at the shops for a year. It was then sold to a private party who rehabbed it and slapped E17 on it. It was then sold it to a fire department in Pennsylvania. The two WLF’s that were used in Backdraft were E69 & E113. E34, 69, and 113 are now owned by a private collector in the Chicago area. E34 is still operational and E69 and E113 will be refurbished.
