Engine Company No. 6 

  In 1914 the horse drawn hose wagon was replaced with a 1914 Moreland/Racine Combination Chemical & Hose Wagon, Shop Number #40. (Shown in foreground.)

  In 1915 the horse drawn steamer was replaced with a 1905 Metropolitan 3rd Size Steamer, Shop Number 19, Serial Number 3089 and a new 1915 Christie 2-Wheeled Front Drive Tractor.  (Shown behind the Moreland.)  

  Both of these pieces of equipment have been restored and are on display at the Burbank Fire Department Headquarters, Burbank, California.
