I just got back from a week in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area. It was all business but I managed a few stops on the way.
The St. John's County Fire Department serves a several hundred square mile area around St. Augustine, Florida, just south of Jacksonville. It is a career Department with 17 stations. I managed to visit a couple of them, dodging clouds and rain showers the whole time.
St. John's County Fire Station 4 is in Bakersville, west of St. Augustine. They run a rescue pumper, tanker and a light rescue which pulls a trench trailer. The pumper pulled up behind me at a light, so I decided to see where they were going. Turns out that Station 4 is down a rural state highway a few miles outside of town. The crew there was great (even though I showed up right before lunch). They gladly pulled out the pumper (apologizing for it being dirty from the rain) and tanker and took all the time I needed to take some photos.
This station is a technical rescue station, so the pumper carries a certain amount of tech rescue gear, backed up by the Ford/E-One light rescue which pulls a 24 (?) foot trench trailer.
Engine 4 is a 2012 Pierce Impel PUC 1500/783 (that's what it carries, verified by the Engineer)/30a/20b, Pierce S/N #25327.

I recall a point in time when it was almost a definate that if there was any fire of significance in metro Boston or the south shore you could find a video of it here.... Now I know buffing has taken hit for a few variety of reasons , but Im sure im not the only person that could really care less about a ambulance flying thru philly ....
