Unit 20 at Station 3
Sitting on the apron of old Station 3 on Bruce St is the 1954 International R185/Bickle Seagrave 500/500 pump that London acquired when Byron was annexed in 1961. It continued to run from the Byron hall as Engine 6 until the mid seventies. It then was a spare pump for a few years. It is filling in for Engine 3 in this pic.
