Serif face similar to Copperplate Gothic

Ronnie Mesa

Hi, I need a little help locating this typeface that I know I have seen and used before. It's similar to Copperplate Gothic but a font search at all the usual locations on the web have yielded nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Fire Service equipment was traditionally hand lettered to a common pattern for the jurisdiction.
As for digital fonts, my choice for a digital substitute would be Nick Shinn's Beaufort Heavy

I know that's not it but I like the well-named Fire Ladder.
Adding now the usual suspects for this kind of job: Modesto, Newtext, Flower, Silverado, Biondi, Snag

Modesto and Heinsler are also in the ballpark, but with with smaller serifs than the sample.
