Rescue 1

Elliott visits his favourite Philadelphia firehouse Engine Company 29, home to such fascinating specialty trucks as Rescue 1, Rescue 1A (for water rescues) and Collapse 1. We've at least five firehouses within walking distance in Center City. Engine Company 29 requires a subway ride, which only adds to its allure for a small boy fascinated by machines. Above, Elliott races to a dire emergency in Rescue 1 and later, at home, he hoses down a burning building from the back of Engine 6.
