  • The original E51 has been used in Yosemite Park Valley for the past 21 years, until August 2008. It has subsequently been sent to the LA Co. Fire Museum for restoration. Originally the truck had the single "bubblegum" rotating beacon. Several modifications were made, including the side floodlights and the Jet Sonic light bar on the cab to improve warning visibility. These modifications were carefully made so that they could later be removed to return E51 to original appearance.

  • yep!This was one of the engines in Emergency 51. Remembere when it was their "new" engine.

    Just wish i could have seen it driven one last time in this video. i'm glad it will be retired to the museum where i can see it later.

    thanks!

  • The original Engine 51 was an engine by Crown, with the open cab. This was the "new" engine introduced in either season 2 or 3. I was able to convince Dave, the head of YCS security, to pull the engine out of the station. I'll have to post something with the engine in motion soon - stay tune. Any movement beyond the station or activating the siren/lights outside seems to cause a disruption to other activities in the valley, since the FFs that man 51 have other job assignments nearby.

  • glad to see Engine 51 still running im only 20 years old but every change i get i watch the T.V show and i love it

  • i could almost believe thats not the engine it looks like it but they made alot of those kinds we had the same thing siting our station so i dont see the proof the only part i saw was the front of it heck you could be telling a lie as far as i know

  • no more stories to think about

  • what ever happened to the first engine 51 from the first couple seasons? The one with the open air cab

  • I'm an E51 and "Emergency!" fan, and looked at the engine in this video, and then the engine used in S1E2....and I can't see the similarity, sorry. The window size is different, for starters.

    Anyone care to offer a link to the explanation?

  • I remember catching a glimpse of this truck behind the doors of the barn in 1989. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to see it once again.

  • @ barmtrail it's back with the squad and the crown... There in the starting of the refurbish stage..
