NEW!!  FFA IN ACTION

The Best Fire Pictures Taken In Washington Over The Past 100 Years Now Available On CD-ROM


  FFA's new DC Fire & EMS Museum has just produced a CD-ROM, which includes a unique 18-minute automated slide show, containing more than 150 of the best pictures taken of major fire scenes in the Nation's Capital since the 1800's.

  The CD is being given to all who make a minimum $20.00 donation to the museum, which is located on the third floor of Engine Co. 3 at 439 New Jersey Ave., N.W. where copies of the CD are now available.  In addition, copies of the CD also may be obtained from Elliot Goodman ( DCF&EMS) at (pager 301-486-7492)or Larry Smith of Advanced Videos at (301-946-7881).  All donations will go toward covering the out-of-pocket expenses of running the museum and the cost of restoring some of the city's fire-related items during the Year 2005.

  To produce this fund-raising project for FFA's Museum, the museum staff teamed up with Lt. James Lloyd, currently assigned to Engine Co. 8, who spent nine months laboriously and carefully transferring each picture in the museum's collection onto CD-ROM discs.  Then, Lt. Lloyd, a 25-year DCFD veteran, used his vast knowledge and experience to select about 154 of the "best shots...including those taken during the ' war years ' (1940-1970), " he said.  The automated slide show was added to enhance the CD's uniqueness.

  The CD was co-produced by Walter Gold, a former fire/police reporter for the old Washington Evening Star, who currently is the Executive Director of FFA's DC Fire & EMS Museum.  FFA's Mark Tennyson, the Museum's Curator, also assisted on this yearlong project.
