I know some time ago that the rolled over Tiller from Raleigh was sold online for next to nothing. I don't remember ever hearing who bought it, however. Today, while playing around with Google Maps, I was "cruising" around Rosenbauer Aerials and noticed a trailer sitting out back. It looks very similar to the Raleigh trailer. Can anyone confirm if Rosenbauer bought it?

 

The address is 870 South Broad St, Fremont, NE, 68025 and as I said, you have to scroll back to the East side of the building and face N/W near the "we buy junk" sign.

 

Trav!

Tri-Towns FC #1 of Piedmont, WV along with units from Potomac Of Westernport, Barton Hose Company and Bloomington FC all from Maryland were dispatched at 2033 hrs to an "Odor in a Residence on Jones Street in Piedmont. 

 

While investigating the original call, Tri-Towns was alerted at 2045 hrs for a "Possible Structure Fire" at 36 Second Street in Piedmont, the caller reported smoke coming from a structure.

 

The Jones Street address is two blocks north of Tri-Towns Station and the Second Street address is 3 doors east of the fire station.

 

Units responding from the incident at Jones Street noted smoke and fire now venting from the middle building in a block of 4 structures at Second Street and requested a "Working Commercial Alarm". 

 

The building of origin was a two story mixed construction building that formerly house a bakery business and has since been converted into apartments. 

 

The building to side B was a three 3 stone & heavy timber building that housed the town library and historical storage for items belonging to the former Piedmont High School. 

 

Building at the B / C corner was a two story corner wood frame structure that housed apartments on the second floor and a first floor screen & glass business.

 

The building at side D was a two story mixed construction building that housed several apartments and a Motorcycle repair shop on part of the first floor. This building shared a common wall with the building of origin.

 

No civilian injuries were reported. Two (2) Firefighters were transported from the scene for minor injuries and were treated and since released from the hospitals.

 

The following photos were taken starting about 40 minutes after the initial alarm.

The Photographer's Ephemeris is a free program that should be a great help when planning to visit a strange city to shoot stations, apparatus, etc. It will give you a map showing the position of the sun for any date and time at anyplace in the world. The example photo below is at a small town in Japan where I expect to be on April 4. The small yellow line is the sun direction at the point I want to shoot. Based on the time, I can plan to visit other places in the area in the AM and early afternoon.

Came across this 1992 Seagrave.  It is in Virginia and wondered if anyone knows anything about where it came from?  Thanks!

1. Why are they always painted black?

 

2. Why are so many being removed from buildings (I don't mean the ones that are not well-maintained.)

I was fooling around with post-processing and thought you folks might like this one:
