03/23/11 132 W, 1 I - + 10 - 7 Another Postcard From DC
Left to right, top to bottom: Engine 16 minding its own business in Chinatown, along with a DC police motorcycle with sidecar, also in Chinatown. Rare sight there! Next is a park police truck and trailer, at the mounted police training center on Rock Creek Parkway. How many police departments have been seen so far? Let's see... DC police. US Capitol police. Secret Service police. FBI police. US Park Service police. Pentagon police. Finally, a Oshkosh Striker crash truck at Reagan National Airport. New delivery, not in service yet. The airport has a single fire station with three crash trucks (including one reserve), two engines (include one reserve), paramedic ambulance, mini-pumper, Battalion Chief's vehicle, two haz-mat trucks, and the airport's mobile command post.
