    According to a 1988 directory, Zone 5 is "South Bay" zone of San Diego County. 5200-series equipment numbers are assigned to Chula Vista Fire Department. This suggests/confirms the photo is in Chula Vista. Based on the vehicles, I suspect mid-1970s. I think this is an American La France Centurion engine. Your corrections are welcomed.

    "The accident occurred at about 4 p.m [Tuesday, 9/11] in a chemical tank in which nitric acid and chronic acid were brewed and used to remove paint from metal grill structures."
