JANE'S TALE
Of course I had to sit in the engine & squad with a borrowed L.A.Co.F.D. helmet. As a kid , I always imagined myself riding in the squad with "Johnny" & "Roy". I had an excellent time and learned something about firetrucks, steam engines & of course the squad. I even met a some firemen from Station 165 and even a real paramedic! I met a lot of firemen in California, and all of them were awesome! Not only do I respect these guys for the work they do, but for their hospitality and kindness! My thanks & gratitude goes out to Paul for his time and knowledge!!! He is quite a busy man. Also an honorable mention to the man that someday I hope to meet!! I can't tell you how much I appreciated your help. I can't forget to express my gratitude to my husband Chet....who lives with an E! fanatic, and helped me do this!! I know he had as much fun as I did! All pictures and text, copyright 1997 by JC Studios
NOTE: Dick Friend, Mike Stoker and some other folks took a cross-country tour in the engine. You can read all about it in Dick's A Nation Viewed by a Pumper. And here's where you can learn more about

I was able to see the first engine used in E! My tour guide was Paul. He
is not only a fireman, but runs the warehouse where there are some unique looking fire
trucks. Paul & his brother restore antiques as far back as early 1900's and even steam
engines from the 1800's.
