Hey all I am friends with Ben on Facebook and he took the Physical Agility Test for the City of St Louis Fire Department and from what he said he did very well on it. (SORRY ALL I CONFUSED BEN WITH PHILL'S ID ON THE SITE IT SHOULD BE BEN

All the stops were pre-arranged, except for Liverpool. Here is what we got!
First stop was at Liverpool Station 1, where we found Engine 1, a 2013 Sutphen 1500/750

During June eight friends and I took a 10 day vacation to Germany and Denmark for the prime purpose of buffing. We visited the Interschutz exhibition at Hannover (which has already been covered on these boards) before spending time photographing apparatus in Germany.
