I met Ed Fox in the early 60’s when Truck 89 was placed in service. He was a great engineer and fun to work with. I recall a brush fire in Brown Canyon when the truck members staffed E 289 and Ed was our engineer. E-289 was a old Kenworth triple with no power steering and Ed was worn out after driving in all the hills we worked in that night.
I also had the opportunity to have his son in the drill tower, while I was assigned as an instructor. He never let on his dad was the engineer assigned “up front” at station 89 while he was going through the tower.
I am happy to see Ed had a long retirement after a job well done.
I first met Ed when we opened Fire Station 89 in January 1960. We have been friends
ever since. I’ll miss his smiling face and all the good times we had together.
Bob and Dorothy will miss him very much.
