Not sure if this the right topic for this forum but I am looking pictures of apparatus that have hosebeds integrated into the rear step of the truck. We are currently specing a new rig and need some space saving ideas for a cross lay.

At 20:54 Denver Firefighters were dispatched to an RV fire.  Companies could see a header while responding.  First arriving Engine 12 was in a reserve and due to a mechanical failure was unable to pump water.  An additional Engine Co. was special called and the fire was contained without any extension to exposures.  Photos courtesy of District Chief 2, Dave McGrail and used with permission.

   

Thursday evening I was making the long drive from Denver to Durango and saw a smoke column a few miles west of I-25.  I exited the highway and drove toward it.  When I arrived Fountain & Security Firefighters were battling a 5-10 acre fire burning in light fuels with a slow rate of spread. 

   

Newark is New Jerseys largest city, but dont see many updates from them, or for that matter, Northwest Jersey departments.  With its close proximity to NYC, I'm surprised there is'nt more from these areas.  ChiefHank used to keep us updated but havent seen him on here in a while.  He had a wonderful website called Newark Fire History, but thats gone too.  Anybody??

I was out in Indianapolis for FDIC and caught this job just after I left the hotel. Indy Fire crews were dispatched to a duplex home at 2509 North Harding Street at approximately 08:45 hours on 04/26/13. When they arrived, heavy smoke was pushing from the 2-story wood-frame structure.

This is a department I have been trying to catch up with for quite awhile and finally linked up with one of their volunteers last week.  They operate out of 4 stations. The majority of their apparatus is owned by Santa Fe County but there are still a few pieces leftover from when they operated as the Edgewood, NM VFD
