Thanks for the nice footage. The landscape is changing quickly now. It's starting to look cold.

I was told a K36 needed a boiler wash so they used 315.

Actually 315 was being used to recruit new firemen for the DHRS so they used her as helper instead of running light.
Jack my guess is yu are probably right cuz I was guessing.
No K-36 was undergoing a boiler wash that day. 488 was road engine on 216, 484 was on 215 and 489 (along with 463) was protect engine.
Hope I am correct.
