San Diego Firehouse Museum

Some of our older members may remember Kevin. Can you give him a hand?

HazMat training us a little more advanced than it used to be.

Your museum board has recently acquired a couple of nice photo collections of San Diego fire history. We'll be posting some from fire apparatus photographer Bill Hattersley first. These are all mid-late 90's apparatus photos.

Thanks to our friends at the San Diego History Center for recognizing the contributions that Black firefighters have made to our community.

Here is F01520, a 1992 Pierce Lance 75’ Snorkel. Powered by a Detroit 6V92, this rig served proudly as Truck 14 in North Park during its front line service. Side note, museum board member John Fisher and I drove this new truck back from St Joseph, MO to San Diego. Rig drove and handled great! KE

Well, how about a post for the first time in too long! Engine 18 (F01383), a 1985 Emergency One pumper, taken in front of old Station 18. Seventeen of these engines were purchased. Equipped with a Cummins Big Cam, these rigs moved out pretty well. Lots of issues over the years, but they served the department well. Taken in late 1986.

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate. Chag Sameach. We remember our friend Rabbi Gottesman!

All of us at the museum would like to congratulate former board member John Wood on his promotion to Assistant Fire Chief. He will be replacing soon-to-retire Assistant Chief (and current board member) Kevin Ester. Both great guys who serve the public well.
