These historical photos not only showcase the equipment used in the past but also serve as a reminder of the critical role that fire departments play in ensuring public safety. Whether it's an aircraft rescue and firefighting unit or a regular fire truck, each piece of equipment has its own story. Thanks to Steve Redick for sharing these great memories with us.
A flange is a flat surface that makes a connection between a valve and the pipe very easy and free from leakage. Butterfly valve flange type has its flanges with holes. The pipe end to be connected to the valve is also designed with a flange and holes of the same size as those on the flanged valve.
