SJS Engine 18
The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service. In this sequence we see some of the equipment from Santa Clara County in a procession after the services.
San Jose Engine 18 is a 2009 Hi-Tech Pumper with a 1500 gallon per minute pump. A reserve engine was used back in San Jose, so this rig was given a new designator for the day. Today it is marked as Engine 52, usually a rig number assigned to the BFO training facility engine.
